DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2501L
Male JIC x Male Pipe 90° Long Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2501L is an extended-length version of the 37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe 90° Elbow. This adapter is specifically designed to provide additional reach and clearance when connecting a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system to a female NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) port at a right angle. It features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a male NPTF pipe thread with an extended length on the other. The "long" configuration is particularly useful in applications where standard-length elbows cannot properly engage with recessed NPTF ports or where extra space is needed around the connection. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2501L ensures a secure, leak-resistant 90-degree transition in challenging hydraulic installations.
Key Features & Specifications

|---|---|
| End 1 Configuration | Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2) |
| End 2 Configuration | Long Male NPTF Pipe (Dryseal) (per ANSI B1.20.3 / SAE J476) |
| Angle | 90 Degrees |
| Special Feature | Extended length on one or both ends (typically NPTF or overall body) for added clearance or reach. |
| Body Style | Elbow Adapter with Hex or flats for wrench tightening. |
| 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 deeper or recessed female NPTF port at a 90° angle. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings vary by size. |
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2501L Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the Male JIC x Male Pipe 90° Long Elbow in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. The "L" denotes the extended length feature.
Examples include (Male JIC x Long Male NPTF):
- 2501L-04-04: 1/4" (7/16-20) JIC Male x 1/4" Long NPTF Male
- 2501L-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 3/8" Long NPTF Male
- 2501L-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x 1/2" Long NPTF Male
Note: The exact extended length can vary. Always confirm dimensions if critical for your application. An Extra Long (2501LL) and Extra Extra Long (2501LLL) version may also be available for maximum reach. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2501L adapter elbow is particularly useful in scenarios requiring extended reach or clearance:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic lines to NPTF ports that are recessed within machinery or component housings.
- Installations where additional clearance is needed between the JIC connection and the NPTF port face, or to clear obstructions.
- Mobile equipment and industrial machinery with complex plumbing where standard elbows are insufficient.
- Ensuring full and secure thread engagement in deeper NPTF ports while making a 90-degree turn.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all threads and sealing surfaces.
- For the long NPTF end, apply a compatible thread sealant if mating with standard NPT or for high-pressure NPTF connections. Thread it into the female NPTF port.
- Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, ensuring the 37° flare surfaces align correctly.
- Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating fittings. Tighten the NPTF end first to the desired orientation and torque, then tighten the JIC nut to its recommended torque.
- The extended length helps in properly engaging threads in deep ports and providing clearance; ensure it does not create undue leverage without adequate support if the assembly is subject to high vibration.
