Versatile, heavy-duty transition adapters engineered to connect National Pipe Taper (NPT) ports to 37° JIC flare hose assemblies. Precision CNC machined from high-strength carbon steel with a ±0.02mm tolerance and rated up to 10,000 PSI. Finished with an anti-corrosive zinc plating for maximum durability in harsh earthmoving and industrial environments. Manufactured in Mumbai, exported globally.
In heavy industrial systems, fluid power must seamlessly transfer from rigid cast iron pumps (which typically use NPT tapered threads) to flexible, high-pressure hydraulic hoses (which standardly use JIC 37° flare connections). The NPT to JIC 37° Flare Adapter is the essential bridge that makes this transition possible without risking fluid leaks or pressure blowouts.
At OM Engineering Works, we manufacture these critical adapters using solid carbon steel hex bar stock. Through our advanced CNC turning centers, we machine the NPT taper and the JIC 37° cone to an ultra-precise ±0.02mm tolerance. The JIC side relies on a metal-to-metal contact seal; if the 37-degree cone is machined inaccurately, the hose fitting will not seat properly, leading to catastrophic high-pressure leaks.
Operating out of our facility in Bhayandar, Mumbai, we coat all our carbon steel adapters with a robust, RoHS-compliant Zinc plating (Cr3). This provides exceptional resistance against rust, hydraulic oil degradation, and the harsh outdoor elements encountered by earthmoving and agricultural machinery.

Because these fittings endure 10,000 PSI of internal pressure, we only source premium solid carbon steel hex bar stock (like EN8 or 1018) from certified mills. We avoid cast iron, which is porous and prone to cracking under high-pressure spikes.
The hex bars are fed into our advanced CNC turning centers. The most critical step is turning the 37-degree flare cone. If the angle is off by even a fraction of a degree, or the surface finish is rough, the metal-to-metal seal will fail. We maintain a ±0.02mm tolerance on this cone.
Using single-point carbide threading tools, we cut the straight threads for the JIC side and the tapered threads for the NPT side. CNC control ensures the thread roots are clean and free of tearing, allowing for smooth wrenching and tight seals.
Any loose metal burr left inside a hydraulic fitting can travel through the system and destroy an expensive pump. All our adapters undergo rigorous deburring and high-pressure ultrasonic washing to guarantee the internal bores are pristine.
Carbon steel will rust if unprotected. The adapters are submerged in an electroplating bath, depositing a layer of protective Zinc. A final chromate passivation (Clear or Yellow) is applied to drastically enhance the fitting's lifespan against rain, mud, and humidity.
NPT threads are verified with L1 taper gauges, and JIC threads are checked with Go/No-Go ring gauges. Approved batches are packed with protective thread caps in heavy-duty export cartons to ensure safe global delivery.
Properties: The industry standard for heavy hydraulics. High structural strength allows these fittings to easily handle the immense burst pressures (up to 10,000 PSI) generated by hydraulic pumps. The applied zinc plating provides a sacrificial barrier against rust and environmental corrosion.
Best For: Earthmoving equipment, agricultural tractors, industrial presses, and hydraulic power units.
Standards:
Properties: For environments where standard zinc plating is insufficient, stainless steel provides intrinsic, permanent corrosion resistance. SS 316 adds molybdenum for exceptional resistance to saltwater and harsh chemicals, while maintaining high pressure ratings.
Best For: Marine hydraulics, offshore oil rigs, chemical processing plants, and food-grade hydraulic systems.
Standards:
Connecting high-pressure hydraulic lines to boom cylinders on excavators, backhoes, and heavy tractors.
Providing leak-free power transmission in heavy hydraulic presses, injection molding machines, and factory automation.
Used in hydraulic braking systems, lifting tailgates, and hydrostatic drives for heavy commercial vehicles.
Connecting massive hydraulic power units to drilling equipment and pumping stations with reliable, blowout-proof seals.
