Picking hydraulic hose end fittings usually comes down to matching the hose bore with the right connection style. For anyone working in hoses and tubing fittings, the choice is especially clear when one kit bundles female swivel ends for smaller lines and the other packs male JIC ends for larger hose. Both are crimp-style fittings, but they are not interchangeable. The better pick depends on whether you need a rotating female connection for tight hookups or a fixed male end for bigger hydraulic lines.
Quick Verdict
If you need a 37° female swivel end with a rotating connection, the female swivel set is the direct match. If your work calls for a male JIC end with a solid shank, the male JIC set is the more sensible pick. They are close in listed price, but they serve different hose sizes.

Where Each Product Wins
The female swivel set wins for...
- You need a rotating female JIC 37° connection for tight hookups.
- You want a complete bundle of fittings for multiple connections.
- The swivel end can be aligned before tightening, which helps on straight runs.
The male JIC set wins for...
- You want a fixed solid male end that avoids hose torsion and helps reduce fluid leakage.
- You prefer carbon steel with an anti-rust zinc plated finish.
- You need enough fittings for replacement work in hydraulic systems.
Product Notes
12pcs 3/8" Hose x 3/8" JIC 37° Female Hydraulic Hose End Swivel Crimp Fittings
This bundle is built around 3/8" I.D. hydraulic hose and a 3/8" JIC 37° female swivel end. The swivel lets the fitting rotate into position, which is useful when the hose has to reach a port that is slightly off-axis. The straight crimp design suits direct inline runs, and the set is suitable for a range of industrial fluids, including petroleum-based fluids, gasoline, fuel, and lubricating oils. The fittings are listed in a silver finish and come as a 12-piece bundle. The limitation is that the kit is sized for 3/8" female JIC 37° connections, not 3/4" lines or male-end fittings.
10-Pack 3/4" Hose x 3/4" Male JIC Hydraulic Fittings, Carbon Steel
This 10-pack is for 3/4" hydraulic line work. Each fitting is carbon steel per SAE J514 with a 3/4" male JIC thread, and the fixed solid male end is designed to avoid hose torsion and reduce the chance of leakage. The zinc plated finish adds corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for agricultural, construction, and industrial hydraulic systems. The pack contains 10 fittings, enough for multiple replacement jobs. The trade-off is the connection style: these are male ends only in a 3/4" x 3/4" size, so they won't work for 3/8" hose or female swivel connections. If your project needs 3/4" male JIC fittings, this pack offers a solid, rust-resistant option.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For smaller-line female swivel work: Choose the female swivel set for its rotating 37° connection and swivel-end design.
- For larger-line male JIC work: Choose the male JIC set for its fixed solid end and corrosion-resistant finish.
- If you regularly work with both line sizes: Keep both sets on hand-one handles female swivel connections, the other handles male JIC connections.
Choosing by hose size and connection type will save you from buying a set that looks similar but doesn't fit your lines.
