Mega Seal Couplings are de
signed with a rounded nose,
or “beak,” instead of the
conventional flared seat of the
female JIC swivel. The beak
makes all the difference: when
tightened or pressurized, the
beak flexes, making an ever
tighter seal on the male cone.

Comparisons with JIC
In comparing Mega Seal
Couplings to JIC A the contrast
is more remarkable, as the
chart below shows. In order to
achieve the same sealing
pressures as the Mega Seal
design, standard JIC fittings
must be over-tightened. Over
tightening often cracks the
nuts or seats, leaks develop,
and the assembly must be
replaced.
