AN (Army-Navy) and JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are similar in appearance and both have a 37-degree flare, but they are not fully interchangeable. AN fittings are designed to strict military specifications, while JIC fittings are manufactured to industrial standards, which can result in differences in tolerance, material, and finish. Although they might fit together, using them interchangeably can lead to issues in high-pressure or critical applications.
