JIC (Joint Industry Council) and AN (Army-Navy) fittings are similar in that they both have a 37-degree flare seating surface, which allows them to be mechanically compatible and often interchangeable in terms of fit. However, they are made to different specifications and standards; AN fittings typically have stricter tolerances and are often made from higher-grade materials, primarily for aerospace and military applications. Therefore, while they can be used interchangeably in some non-critical applications, it's important to consider the specific requirements and standards needed for the application.
