Part Number: 2502

37° JIC Male to NPTF Female Pipe 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 2502 is a 90° adapter elbow designed for connecting a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system to an NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) male threaded component, providing a right-angle change in direction. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other. It is typically used to connect a female JIC swivel fitting (often found on hydraulic hoses) or a flared tube to a male NPTF pipe or fitting, such as a nipple or the male end of another adapter. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2502 elbow ensures a secure, leak-resistant 90-degree transition between these two common hydraulic fitting types.

Note: Always verify the specific JIC and NPTF sizes required for your application. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 2502 adapter elbow is essential for interfacing JIC systems with male NPTF components at a right angle:

Connecting JIC hydraulic hoses or flared tubes to male NPTF-ended components such as nipples, certain types of sensors, or other adapters, where a 90-degree turn is necessary.
Integrating equipment using JIC standards into systems predominantly featuring NPTF male outlets with a directional change.
Common in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial hydraulics, and various fluid power applications requiring angular adaptation between these fitting types.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flare, mating JIC female seat, female NPTF threads, and mating male NPTF threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
Connect the male JIC end of the adapter to the female JIC swivel nut. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Tighten the JIC nut to the recommended torque. No sealant is used on JIC flare connections.
For the female NPTF end, thread it onto the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting. While NPTF provides a dry seal, it is often recommended to use a compatible thread sealant (PTFE tape or paste) on the male NPTF threads, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high pressures, to ensure a leak-proof connection. Tighten with a wrench, ensuring the elbow is correctly oriented.
Use backup wrenches on the elbow body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage.
