JIC (Joint Industry Council) and pipe thread are two different types of fittings used for connecting pipes and hoses. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a metal-to-metal seal, while pipe threads, such as NPT (National Pipe Thread), rely on tapered threads to create a seal by wedging the threads together. JIC fittings are generally preferred in high-pressure applications for their reliability and ease of assembly, whereas pipe threads are more common in plumbing and low-pressure applications.
