I found out the hard way. JIC wil work on AN stuff, and vice versa, but they will leak. And you'll break a fitting trying to get it tight enough to stop leaking. I'm sure you've already addressed this, but I thought I'd throw it out there, anyway. Best of luck to ya, bro!!!
hey bro, from what I can tell, the only difference between JIC and AN is the threads is JIC threads are slightly more rounded than AN.....the 37deg sealing surface is the same........thoughts?

I thought AN and JIC were both 37* as well. I've cross used them before.
