Talk:AN thread
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Compatibility
My reading of the linked PDF is that JIC and AN fittings are the same, with the exception of the thread class. This means (AIUI) that they *can* be used together, and *are* compatible in that sense, except that they meet different specifications, and the AN (class 3A thread) will perform better. The performance difference is the reason the linked PDF states they are not interchangeable -- changing from one to another will change how the design performs. But they're compatible, unlike, say, AN and NPT, which aren't even remotely the same thing. Evand 19:11, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
