Part Number: 2505
37° JIC Male to NPTF Female Pipe 45° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2505 is a 45° adapter elbow designed to provide a secure, angular connection between a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system and a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) threaded component. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other, forming a 45-degree angle. It's commonly used to connect a female JIC swivel fitting (often on hydraulic hoses) or a flared tube to a male NPTF pipe or fitting where a gradual 45-degree directional change is necessary for optimal routing. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2505 elbow ensures a reliable, leak-resistant transition.

- 2505-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 3/8" NPTF Female
- 2505-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x 1/2" NPTF Female
- 2505-12-12: 3/4" (1-1/16-12) JIC Male x 3/4" NPTF Female
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 2505 adapter elbow is useful for interfacing JIC systems with male NPTF components where a 45-degree turn is required:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic hoses or flared tubes to male NPTF-ended components, such as certain nipples or adapters, facilitating a smoother bend than a 90-degree elbow.
- Integrating equipment using JIC standards with systems that have male NPTF outlets requiring an angular connection.
- Common in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulics where precise routing and mixed fitting types are encountered.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces 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 needed for the JIC connection.
- For the female NPTF end, thread it onto the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting. While NPTF is designed for a dry seal, application of a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high-pressure applications. Tighten with a wrench, ensuring the elbow is correctly oriented at 45 degrees.
- Use backup wrenches on the elbow body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage during tightening.
