Part Number: 2404LL
37° Male JIC x Extra Long NPTF Male Pipe Connector
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2404LL is an extra-long version of the 37° Male JIC x NPTF Male Pipe Connector, specifically engineered to provide maximum reach when connecting to deeply recessed or obstructed female NPTF ports. This straight adapter features a male JIC 37° flare on one end for reliable connection to female JIC swivel fittings or flared tubes, and an significantly extended male NPTF pipe thread on the other. This "extra long" (LL) design is indispensable in applications where standard (2404) or long (2404L) connectors cannot ensure proper thread engagement or provide necessary clearance. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2404LL offers a robust solution for challenging hydraulic system installations requiring extended NPTF connections.
Key Features & Specifications

| Body Style | Straight Connector with Hex Body for wrench tightening. |
| Special Feature | Maximum extended length on NPTF male thread for specific deep port applications. |
| Sealing Mechanism | JIC End: Metal-to-metal seal on the 37° flare cone. NPTF End: Metal-to-metal seal on the tapered Dryseal threads with a female NPTF port. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability. |
| Primary Function | To connect a female JIC swivel fitting or flared tube to a very deep or recessed female NPTF port. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings vary by size. |
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2404LL Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the 37° Male JIC x Extra Long NPTF Male Pipe Connector in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. The "LL" denotes the maximum extended length NPTF thread design.
Examples include (Male JIC x Extra Long Male NPTF):
- 2404LL-04-04: 1/4" (7/16-20) JIC Male x 1/4" Extra Long NPTF Male
- 2404LL-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 3/8" Extra Long NPTF Male
- 2404LL-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x 1/2" Extra Long NPTF Male
Note: The exact "extra long" dimension is specific to this series and greater than the "L" series. Always confirm critical dimensions for your application. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2404LL connector is designed for specific scenarios requiring maximum reach:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic lines to female NPTF ports that are exceptionally deep within component housings or machine frames.
- Applications where significant standoff or clearance is necessary between the JIC connection and the NPTF port face.
- Custom machinery and specialized equipment with unique plumbing challenges.
- Ensuring full and secure thread engagement in the deepest NPTF ports where other connectors are insufficient.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all threads and sealing surfaces.
- For the extra-long NPTF end, carefully thread it into the female NPTF port. Given its length, ensure it does not bottom out or interfere with internal components before proper thread engagement. Apply a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads if mating with standard NPT or for enhanced sealing. Tighten to the recommended specification.
- Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, ensuring the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Tighten the JIC nut to its recommended torque.
- Use backup wrenches on the adapter body and mating components as needed, especially due to the increased leverage the extra length might introduce.
