Got a line running 1/4-18 NPT on one end and need to tee off to a 9/16-18 JIC fitting. This the right part for that?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 27, 2025, 6:04 AM
That's what this adapter is built for. The run ports are 1/4-18 male NPT and the branch comes off at 9/16-18 male JIC 37 degree flare, so you get a tee configuration that bridges those two thread types in one piece. It's a steel adapter from Eaton Aeroquip's 2028 series, so the construction is solid for hydraulic line work.

got a setup with 1/4-18 male npt and i need to tee off into jic, is this the right adapter?

For tying an external pipe thread into a 37 degree flare setup, this tee is built exactly for that. It has a 1/4-18 male NPT run connection and a 9/16-18 male JIC 37 degree flare run and branch, so it lets you create a tee while transitioning from NPT to JIC.
