Flexline JIC-08 304 Stainless Steel Braided Hose Assembly 51", 37 Degree Female Swivel Ends (3/4-16 Thread)

This is a stainless steel braided flexible hose assembly marked JIC-08 and 304, with JIC 37 degree flare end fittings. The record lists it as a Flexline JIC-08 304 hose, 51 inches long. Flexline is a New Jersey maker of specialty metal hose assemblies that offers female JIC / AN 37 degree swivel fittings in 304L and 316L alloys.

In JIC notation the dash size gives the tube OD in sixteenths of an inch, so -08 corresponds to a 1/2 inch tube size with a 3/4-16 thread; that 3/4 inch thread is the size shown in the listing title. The 304 marking identifies the stainless steel alloy. JIC fittings seal metal to metal on the 37 degree flare, which lets the hose be connected and reconnected to mating male JIC ports and adapters without thread sealant.

Braided stainless hose assemblies like this are used by maintenance and process technicians on hydraulic and lubrication lines, compressed gas and instrument connections, pump and compressor hookups, and anywhere a flexible connection must tolerate vibration, movement or misalignment between two fixed ports.

Available from King Surplus inventory in Del Rio, Texas.
