Question: are sae and orb the same?
Answer: O-Ring Boss: The threads of the SAE straight thread O-Ring Boss (ORB) and the straight thread 37⁰ JIC Flare are the same threads. The difference is the way each thread seals. While the JIC seals on a metal-to-metal flare, the ORB seals on an O-ring, which offers the best leak free connection.
