It carries a 3\/4-16 thread on the female end and a 7\/16-20 thread on the male end, conforming to standard JIC 37-degree flare geometry. At 0.115 pounds, the fitting is compact and sized for tight hydraulic assemblies. It is used by hydraulic system technicians, mobile equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals who need to step down or step up line sizes without adding extra adapters in a run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for hydraulic pressure lines in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems where two JIC-threaded components of different line sizes must be joined. The 2406 Series designation places it within a standardized family of steel JIC adapters, making it a straightforward selection for spec-to-spec replacements or new hydraulic plumbing builds. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field service work where JIC fittings are the specified connection standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces or expands between 1\/2-inch female JIC and 1\/4-inch male JIC in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-16 female thread x 7\/16-20 male thread for standard JIC 37-degree flare compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in hydraulic pressure line applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact footprint: 1.35 inches long, 1 inch wide, 0.85 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.115 pounds, minimizing load in tight plumbing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the 2406 Series steel JIC adapter family for consistent spec conformance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for hydraulic systems using standard JIC 37-degree flare fittings where a 1\/2-inch female JIC to 1\/4-inch male JIC transition is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic familiar with JIC flare fittings. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the fitting first to confirm thread engagement, then torque to the value specified in the equipment service manual for the applicable line size. Inspect the 37-degree flare seats on mating components for damage before assembly to prevent leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female JIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male JIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.115 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240684\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952051224882,"sku":"240684","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0aceec8a465a6f5eaa7e9897a2421ce0_3803b8db-aa3c-42fe-afc0-58f3609a4aa2.jpg?v=1791744965","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-240684-jic-reducer-expander-steel-adapter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
