DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2605
37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Run Tee
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2605 is a specialized run tee adapter designed for hydraulic systems that require branching an NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) line from a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare main line. This fitting features two male JIC 37° flare ends on the run (in-line portion) and one male NPTF pipe thread on the 90-degree branch. This configuration allows for the connection of two female JIC swivel fittings or flared tubes in a continuous run, while providing a male NPTF take-off point for connecting to a female NPTF port. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2605 tee ensures robust and leak-free connections in various industrial and mobile applications where mixed fitting types are present.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2605 Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the 37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Run Tee in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. Sizing is typically specified as JIC Run x JIC Run x NPTF Branch.
Examples include (Male JIC Run x Male JIC Run x Male NPTF Branch):
- 2605-04-04-02: 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/8" NPTF (Branch)
- 2605-04-04-04: 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" NPTF (Branch)
- 2605-06-06-04: 3/8" JIC (Run) x 3/8" JIC (Run) x 1/4" NPTF (Branch)
- 2605-08-08-08: 1/2" JIC (Run) x 1/2" JIC (Run) x 1/2" NPTF (Branch)
Note: Always verify the specific JIC and NPTF sizes required for your application. For unlisted size combinations or reducing configurations on the run, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2605 adapter tee is ideal for creating an NPTF branch from a JIC main line:
- Adding an NPTF-ported component (like certain types of gauges, sensors, or valves) to a hydraulic system primarily using JIC connections.
- Connecting JIC hoses or tubes in-line while branching off to an NPTF port.
- Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural implements requiring interfacing between JIC and NPTF systems.
- Custom hydraulic circuit designs where mixed thread types are necessary for specific component integration.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flares, mating JIC female seats, male NPTF branch threads, and mating female NPTF port threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC run ends to female JIC swivel nuts or flared tube assemblies. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly and tighten the JIC nuts to their recommended torque. No sealant is used on JIC connections.
- For the male NPTF branch end, thread it into the mating female NPTF port. While NPTF is designed for a dry seal, applying a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if mating with standard NPT ports or for high pressures. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended specification.
- Use backup wrenches on the tee body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage, ensuring correct orientation of the branch.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 2605?
