DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2650
37° JIC Male Cross
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2650 is a 37° JIC Male Cross fitting designed to connect four female JIC swivel fittings or flared tubes at 90-degree angles to each other. All four connection points feature male JIC 37° flare ends. This fitting allows for the distribution or combination of fluid paths in a hydraulic system. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 2650 cross ensures reliable, leak-resistant connections conforming to SAE J514 standards.

Applications
The Part 2650 JIC Male Cross is ideal for:
- Splitting a single hydraulic line into three separate lines.
- Combining three hydraulic lines into a single line.
- Creating a junction point for multiple hydraulic hoses or tubes meeting at 90° angles.
- Common in complex hydraulic circuits on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural applications where fluid needs to be routed in multiple directions from a central point.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all JIC flare ends of the cross and the mating female JIC sealing surfaces (cone inside the swivel nut) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC ends of the cross to the female JIC swivel nuts on the hoses or tubes. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly.
- It is good practice to apply a light coat of system-compatible lubricant (like hydraulic oil) to the threads of the female swivel nuts (not the flare sealing surfaces) to ensure smooth tightening and prevent galling.
- Tighten each JIC nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque or using the "Flats From Wrench Resistance" (FFWR) method. Use backup wrenches on the body of the cross fitting as needed to prevent distortion while tightening the nuts.
- No thread sealant is used on JIC flare connections as the seal is metal-to-metal on the flare.
