Yes. JIC (Joint Industry Council) and ORB (O-Ring Boss) are both types of hydraulic fittings, but they differ in design and application. JIC fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface that creates a metal-to-metal seal, commonly used in high-pressure applications. ORB fittings, on the other hand, use an O-ring to create a seal within a straight-threaded connection, providing a reliable seal that is often used in systems requiring leak prevention and easy assembly.
