Jiffy-Tite Fluid Fittings & Tools

Established in 1963, Jiffy-tite started a new era in the design and manufacture of automotive fluid fittings. The company's first product, a quick connect-disconnect fluid coupler invented by its founder, Bob Zillig, revolutionized the way that automotive technicians used to couple fluid lines. It was extremely durable and saved almost an hour of time when changing from one mold to another. From then on, Jiffy-tite has continued to supply the market with new innovative solutions which allowed the company to become the world's leader in the injection molding industry.

With all quick-connect fittings manufacturing and metal fabrication located in the United States, Jiffy-tite makes more than 140,000 defect-free products per day. Overall, the company has manufactured over 350 millions units that can be found not only in the most popular Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Mercedes, and Harley Davidson vehicles but also in military, Formula 1 and NASCAR applications. In most cases, its unique products allow for effortless servicing of fluid connections with no professional tools or special equipment required and in less than no time.

It goes without saying that the automotive industry has undergone its most significant transformation for last decades. To address the challenges presented by modern technologies used to build technologically-advanced vehicles like hybrid, turbocharged, fuel cell driven and electric cars, Jiffy-tite has adapted its core technology to these new requirements. The company has developed new manufacturing processes to produce next-generation products that meet the highest level of quality, durability and performance. One of them is a high-performance thermal valve designed to more precisely control the temperature of transmission systems for optimal efficiency. This patent-pending device became the recipient of the 2009 Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice Award.
