The Castair JICA1010 is a JIC fitting adapter in the A-series configuration — JIC-10 to JIC-10 in an adapter body design. The A prefix in Castair's JIC fitting nomenclature typically denotes an adapter style that may combine male and female ends or a swivel body, as distinct from the direct union style of the JIC10XJIC10. Both connections are JIC-10 (7/8-14 UNF, 5/8-inch OD tubing, 37-degree flare). Used in compressed air distribution piping where a JIC-10 connection is required on both ends of the adapter.
Manufacturer-specific configuration details (male/female, swivel, straight, elbow) for the JICA1010 were not confirmed in our research data. If you need to verify the exact body style before ordering, call us at 866-217-0063 — we can confirm the specific adapter configuration with Castair.
About JIC Fittings in Compressed Air Systems
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings use a 37-degree flare seating surface. This seating angle creates a metal-to-metal seal that is leak-resistant under pressure and does not require sealant tape or thread compound on the flare seating surface (though thread sealant is still appropriate on the straight threads in certain configurations). JIC fittings are widely used in hydraulic systems and increasingly in compressed air distribution where secure, serviceable connections are needed at equipment connections, regulator ports, and manifold tees.
The dash number in JIC sizing corresponds to the tubing OD in 1/16-inch increments: JIC-10 fits 5/8-inch OD tubing (7/8-14 UNF thread), JIC-12 fits 3/4-inch OD tubing (1-1/16-12 UNF thread).
Fitting Details
- Part Number: JICA1010
- Connection 1: JIC-10 (7/8-14 UNF, 37-degree flare)
- Connection 2: JIC-10 (7/8-14 UNF, 37-degree flare)
- Series: A-series adapter (confirm body style — male/female/swivel — before ordering)
- Seating: 37-degree flare metal-to-metal seal

Common Applications
- JIC-10 connection point in compressed air branch lines and equipment drops
- Adapter positions in filter/regulator/lubricator assemblies with JIC-10 ports
- Equipment connections where a JIC-10 to JIC-10 adapter body is needed for orientation or serviceability reasons
Installation Notes
- No sealant on flare seating surfaces — 37-degree metal-to-metal seal
- Verify male/female orientation matches your application before assembly
- Torque appropriately — JIC fittings seal at the flare, not by thread compression
- Leak-check after pressurizing
