To distinguish between JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fittings, examine the flare angle and thread type. JIC fittings typically have a 37-degree flare angle, whereas SAE fittings often feature a 45-degree flare angle. Additionally, ensure to check thread compatibility, as both standards may use different thread types despite sometimes having similar dimensions.
