DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2501LL
Male JIC x Male Pipe 90° Extra Extra Long Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2501LL is an "extra long" version of the 37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe 90° Elbow adapter, specifically designed to provide significant extended reach for challenging hydraulic installations. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a male NPTF pipe thread with a substantially extended body or NPTF end on the other. The "extra long" (LL) designation indicates a greater extension than the standard "long" (2501L) version, making it suitable for applications where maximum reach is necessary to connect with deeply recessed female NPTF ports or to achieve substantial clearance. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2501LL ensures a secure, leak-resistant 90-degree transition, even in the most difficult-to-access locations.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Carbon Steel |
|---|---|
| End 1 Configuration | Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2) |
| End 2 Configuration | Extra Long Male NPTF Pipe (Dryseal) (per ANSI B1.20.3 / SAE J476) |
| Angle | 90 Degrees |
| Special Feature | Significant extended length on one or both ends (typically NPTF or overall body) for substantial 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 very deeply recessed or significantly obstructed female NPTF port at a 90° angle. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings vary by size. |
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2501LL Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the Male JIC x Male Pipe 90° Extra Long Elbow in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. The "LL" denotes the significant extended length feature.
Examples include (Male JIC x Extra Long Male NPTF):
- 2501LL-04-04: 1/4" (7/16-20) JIC Male x 1/4" Extra Long NPTF Male
- 2501LL-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 3/8" Extra Long NPTF Male
- 2501LL-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x 1/2" Extra Long NPTF Male
Note: The "extra long" dimension provides more reach than the "L" series. An "LLL" (Extra Extra Long, Part #2501LLL) version is also available for maximum reach. Always confirm precise dimensions for your application. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2501LL adapter elbow is designed for specialized scenarios requiring considerable extended reach:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic lines to female NPTF ports that are exceptionally deep within machinery, bulkheads, or hard-to-reach areas.
- Installations requiring significant standoff distance for clearance around other components or structures.
- Customized industrial machinery and specialized mobile equipment with unique and challenging hydraulic plumbing.
- Ensuring proper and secure thread engagement in the deepest NPTF ports where standard or "long" fittings are inadequate.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all threads and sealing surfaces before installation.
- For the extra-long NPTF end, carefully thread it into the deep female NPTF port. If mating with standard NPT or for enhanced sealing, apply a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads. Ensure full thread engagement without interference.
- Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, ensuring correct alignment of the 37° flare surfaces.
- 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.
- Given the significant length, assess any potential need for supporting the fitting or connected lines to prevent vibration-induced stress.
