37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee - Part 2601

Part Number: 2601

37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 2601 is a specialized tee adapter designed to integrate a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare branch connection into a system with NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) run ports. This fitting features two male NPTF pipe threads on the run (in-line) ends and one male JIC 37° flare on the 90-degree branch. It allows for the connection of two female NPTF ports while providing a male JIC take-off point for a hydraulic hose or tube with a female JIC swivel. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2601 tee is ideal for applications requiring reliable branching between these distinct hydraulic connection standards.

Key Features & Specifications

Material High-Grade Carbon Steel
Run End 1 Configuration Male NPTF Pipe (Dryseal) (per ANSI B1.20.3 / SAE J476)
Run End 2 Configuration Male NPTF Pipe (Dryseal) (per ANSI B1.20.3 / SAE J476)
Branch End Configuration Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
Body Style Tee Adapter with Hex or flats for wrench tightening.
Sealing Mechanism NPTF Ends: Metal-to-metal seal on the tapered Dryseal threads with female NPTF ports.
JIC Branch End: Metal-to-metal seal on the 37° flare cone with a mating female JIC swivel.
Corrosion Protection Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability.
Primary Function To connect two female NPTF ports on the run and provide a male JIC 37° flare branch connection.
Working Pressure Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings vary by size.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2601 Series)

Delphi Fittings offers the 37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. Sizing is typically specified as NPTF Run x NPTF Run x JIC Branch.

Examples include (Male NPTF Run x Male NPTF Run x Male JIC Branch):

  • 2601-04-04-04: 1/4" NPTF (Run) x 1/4" NPTF (Run) x 1/4" (7/16-20) JIC (Branch)
  • 2601-06-06-06: 3/8" NPTF (Run) x 3/8" NPTF (Run) x 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC (Branch)
  • 2601-08-08-08: 1/2" NPTF (Run) x 1/2" NPTF (Run) x 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC (Branch)
  • Reducing configurations (e.g., different sizes on run or branch) may also be available.

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 2601 adapter tee is essential for creating a JIC branch from an NPTF main line:

  • Adding a JIC-terminated hydraulic hose or tube (for gauges, auxiliary circuits, etc.) to a system primarily using NPTF connections.
  • Connecting components with female NPTF ports in-line, while branching off with a JIC connection.
  • Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural implements where interfacing JIC and NPTF components is necessary.
  • Custom hydraulic circuit design and fluid distribution manifolds.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

  • Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flare, mating JIC female seat, male NPTF threads, and mating female NPTF port threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
  • For the NPTF run ends, thread the male NPTF ends into the female NPTF ports. Apply a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads if mating with standard NPT ports or for enhanced sealing. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended specification.
  • Connect the male JIC branch end to a female JIC swivel nut. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Tighten the JIC nut to its recommended torque. No sealant is used on JIC flare connections.
  • Use backup wrenches on the tee body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage during tightening, ensuring correct orientation of the branch.

Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 2601?
