Midland Industries 7005-06-16 Straight Adapter Jic Metric

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 7005-06-16 is a steel straight adapter designed to connect 3/8-inch Male JIC hydraulic lines to M16 Male Metric fittings in a single inline assembly. It belongs to the 7005 Series, which covers MJIC to Male Metric transitions. The adapter threads measure 9/16-18 on the JIC side and M16 x 1.5 on the metric side. At 0.1 pounds and approximately 1.5 inches in length, it is a compact, high-strength component suited for hydraulic plumbing work in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems.

This adapter is used wherever a JIC-threaded hydraulic circuit must interface with a metric-threaded port or component. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic systems on construction and agricultural equipment, industrial hydraulic power units, and fluid transfer lines that span JIC and metric standards. It is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists during system assembly, repair, or conversion work requiring a direct JIC-to-metric transition without additional fittings.

Key Features

• Straight inline configuration for direct JIC-to-metric port connections
• 3/8-inch Male JIC (9/16-18 thread) on one end, M16 x 1.5 Male Metric on the other
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic applications
• Compact profile at 1.5 inches in length and 0.1 pounds
• Part of the 7005 Series MJIC to Male Metric adapter line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic adapter for systems requiring a 3/8-inch Male JIC to M16 Male Metric straight connection, consistent with 7005 Series MJIC-to-metric hydraulic plumbing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate flare seat and thread engagement practices for JIC connections to ensure a proper 37-degree flare seat. Verify metric thread pitch matches the port before assembly to avoid cross-threading or leaks.
