A #6 JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting refers to the size of the fitting based on the dash size system, where each increment corresponds to a 1/16 inch measurement. Specifically, a #6 JIC fitting has a 9/16-18 thread size and is commonly used with tubing or hose with a 3/8 inch outer diameter. JIC fittings are widely used in hydraulic systems due to their 37-degree flare seating surface, providing a reliable, leak-proof connection.
