Midland Industries 2406106 Jic Reducer Expander Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 2406106 is a steel JIC reducer and expander fitting designed to transition between two different JIC line sizes in hydraulic plumbing circuits. It connects a 5/8-inch female JIC port to a 3/8-inch male JIC port using 7/8-14 and 9/16-18 thread specifications. The all-steel construction provides the durability and pressure tolerance required in hydraulic systems. Measuring approximately 1.4 inches in length and weighing 0.1 pounds, this compact adapter is a standard hardware item for hydraulic technicians, fluid power mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working with JIC-style fittings.

This fitting is used in hydraulic systems where a line or component port size change is required between 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch JIC connections. Typical applications include hydraulic plumbing on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power circuits where adapting between different hose or tube end sizes is necessary. It is part of the 2406 Series of female-to-male JIC reducer and expander adapters commonly stocked for field and shop use.

Compatibility

Designed for use in hydraulic circuits requiring a JIC size reduction or expansion between 5/8-inch female JIC and 3/8-inch male JIC ports. Suitable for standard hydraulic hose assemblies, tubing systems, and equipment using JIC 37-degree flare fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the fitting first, then wrench-tighten to achieve a leak-free seal without over-torquing the steel threads. Inspect the 37-degree JIC flare seats on mating components for damage before assembly.
