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. [ 2 ] The two are interchangeable in theory, though this is typically not recommended due to the exacting specifications and demands of the aerospace industry.
JIC fittings, defined by the SAE J514 and MIL-DTL-18866 standards, are a type of flare fitting machined with a 37-degree flare seating surface. JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are widely used in fuel delivery and fluid power applications, especially where high pressure (up to 10,000 pounds per square inch (690 bar)) is involved.
The following hose and coupler combinations are used in U.S. wildland fire fighting. [10] 3 ⁄ 4-inch hose with 3 ⁄ 4-11.5NH ASME threads (Garden Hose Thread) 3 ⁄ 4-inch hose with 3 ⁄ 4-14NPSH ASME threads (USDA 5100-107d specification) 3 ⁄ 4-inch hose with Forestry Coupling (CAN/ULC-S551-13 specification and USDA 5100-192 specification)
Pneumatic tool attached using a coupling. A coupled pair consists of a male nipple or plug and a female coupler or socket. One side is connected to a flexible supply hose; the other may be attached to a manifold, valve, tool, or another hose. A female coupler is used on the supply side, and a male nipple is used on the receiving side.
The diagram from Beard's 1897 coupler patent [7]. Janney couplers were first patented in 1873 by Eli H. Janney (U.S. patent 138,405). [8] [9] Andrew Jackson Beard was amongst various inventors that made a multitude of improvements to the knuckle coupler; [7] Beard's patents were U.S. patent 594,059 granted 23 November 1897, which then sold for approximately $50,000, and U.S. patent 624,901 ...
IEC 60309 (formerly IEC 309 and CEE 17, also published by CENELEC as EN 60309) is a series of international standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for "plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes".
A variety of different kinds of IEC 60320 plugs and sockets. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes [1] is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A.

On a standard-gauge railway, the nominal mounting height for the coupler (rail top to coupler center) is 33 inches (838 mm), with a 34 + 1 ⁄ 2 ± 1 inch (876 ± 25 mm) maximum height on empty cars and 31 + 1 ⁄ 2 ± 1 inch (800 ± 25 mm) minimum height on loaded cars.
