Designed for high-performance hydraulic applications, the Blue Anodized Aluminum Adapter, -04 Male JIC 37° Flare To 1/4 Inch Male NPT, Straight is a compact straight fitting from Eaton Aeroquip that transitions between a -04 JIC 37° flare connection and a 1/4 inch male NPT thread in a single inline unit.
The blue anodized aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and easy visual identification in complex hydraulic assemblies. As part of Eaton Aeroquip's Hi-Perf fitting line, this adapter is engineered for reliable sealing across a wide range of hydraulic fluids and system pressures. The 37° flare seat conforms to standard JIC fitting geometry, making it compatible with common hydraulic hose ends and tube fittings used in mobile and industrial equipment.

It's got a 1/4 inch male NPT thread on one end.
Question by: Ricky H on Mar 23, 2026, 5:46 PM
does this adapter work for swapping between a JIC fitting and an NPT port, or do I need something in between to make that connection?
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 25, 2026, 4:51 PM
A direct swap is exactly what this adapter handles. One end is a -04 Male JIC 37 degree flare, the other is 1/4 inch Male NPT, so you get a straight one-piece connection between those two thread types without any intermediate fittings in between.

got a hose end that’s -04 JIC, will this adapter let me hook it up to a 1/4 NPT port?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 8, 2025, 6:58 AM
Yes, it bridges those two standards in a straight body. One side is a -04 male JIC 37 degree flare, and the other side is a 1/4 inch male NPT pipe thread.

got a hose end that’s -4 JIC. will this screw into a 1/4 npt port without any funny business
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 22, 2025, 6:24 AM
Function-wise, it is a straight adapter that bridges a -04 male JIC 37 degree flare connection over to a 1/4 inch male NPT connection, so it is meant for exactly that kind of thread change.

What size is this adapter? I need one that'll fit a -04 JIC flare.
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 17, 2025, 7:43 AM
This adapter is a -04 Male JIC 37 deg Flare on one end.
Question by: Roger A on Aug 27, 2025, 8:51 PM
Does this adapter go from a JIC fitting on one end to a pipe thread on the other, or did I read that backwards?
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 29, 2025, 1:29 PM
You got it right. The -04 end has a 37-degree male JIC flare, and the other end is a 1/4 inch male NPT. So you're threading the NPT side into a port or female pipe fitting, and the JIC side connects to your hose or line with a 37-degree flare seat.
