To size a JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting, first determine the outer diameter (OD) of the tube or hose that will connect to the fitting. Then, match this measurement to the corresponding JIC fitting size, which is typically expressed in 16ths of an inch (e.g., a 1/2-inch OD tube corresponds to an 8 JIC fitting, since 8/16 equals 1/2). Additionally, ensure the thread size matches the fitting specification for a proper fit.
