Yes, you can tell the difference between a JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fitting primarily by their angle and thread type. JIC fittings have a 37-degree flare angle, whereas SAE fittings typically have a 45-degree flare angle. Additionally, checking the thread pitch and diameter can help differentiate them, as they conform to different standards.
