JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) are both standards for hydraulic fittings, but they differ in their thread and sealing designs. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare for metal-to-metal sealing, while SAE fittings often use an O-ring for sealing. The two types are not interchangeable due to these differences in design and application.
