#16 Str 37 Deg JIC Crimp Swivel Fitting

The #16 Str 37 Deg JIC Crimp Swivel Fitting by AEROQUIP is an essential component for high-pressure hydraulic and fuel line systems in performance vehicles, racing applications, and heavy-duty machinery. This fitting addresses the critical need for leak-free, reliable connections in demanding environments where vibration, pressure cycling, and temperature fluctuations are constant challenges. Whether you're building a custom fuel system for a turbocharged engine, assembling a hydraulic brake upgrade, or fabricating a competition-grade power steering line, a quality JIC swivel fitting prevents line fatigue failure and ensures system integrity under stress.

The 37-degree JIC (Joint Industry Council) standard ensures compatibility with industry-standard hose and tubing assemblies, while the swivel design accommodates hose movement and vibration without introducing stress concentrations at the connection point. The crimp attachment method—rather than reusable fittings—creates a permanent, hydraulically sealed bond that resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling, critical for fuel delivery systems and hydraulic circuits operating at elevated pressures. AEROQUIP's engineering ensures consistent wall thickness, precise thread geometry, and corrosion-resistant materials, making this #16 fitting (approximately 1 inch nominal diameter) suitable for both metric and SAE-spec applications where reliability cannot be compromised.

Mechanics and fabricators working on fuel injection upgrades, EFI conversions, and hydraulic brake or clutch systems will recognize this fitting as a go-to component for permanent, vibration-proof assemblies. Installation requires a proper crimping tool matched to SAE specifications—improper sizing results in leaks or joint failure. The compact 3 x 1.6 x 3.3-inch footprint and lightweight 0.16-pound design make it ideal for tight engine bay or frame routing where space is limited. This AEROQUIP fitting is the choice for builders who demand professional-grade durability and cannot tolerate system failure in competition or high-performance street applications.
