Certainly! JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface and are typically used in high-pressure hydraulic applications, while NPT (National Pipe Taper) fittings have a tapered thread that seals by thread deformation and are commonly used for general-purpose pipe connections. The primary visual difference is that JIC fittings have a smooth, flared end, whereas NPT fittings have tapered threads.
