Hoses & Hose Fittings

AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal. They are similar to other 37° flared fittings, such as JIC, which is their industrial variant.The threads are supposed to fit together in a screw-like manner to attach a hose to a faucet to allow water to come through without leaking or losing pressure. Most fittings are made from some durable material like brass. This makes the threads themselves rather tough and they aren't likely to break or bend easily.
