The three types of hydraulic fittings are JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings, ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) fittings, and NPT (National Pipe Tapered) fittings. JIC fittings are most commonly used in the Fluid Power industry, ORFS fittings provide the best leak protection, and NPT fittings are commonly used in low-pressure hydraulic systems. This information was sourced from "Hydraulic Fittings Selection Guide" on Engineering360 (https://www.globalspec.com/learnmore/...) under the sections "Types of Hydraulic Fittings" and "Specifications".
