Part Number: 2702

37° JIC Bulkhead Union 45° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 2702 is a 37° JIC Bulkhead Union 45° Elbow, specifically designed to route hydraulic lines through panels or bulkheads with a 45-degree change in direction. This fitting features male JIC 37° flare connections on both ends and is supplied with a locknut for secure panel mounting. It facilitates optimized line routing where a less acute angle than 90 degrees is required at the pass-through point. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance, the Part 2702 provides a robust and leak-proof connection compliant with SAE J514 standards.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
End 1 Configuration	Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
End 2 Configuration	Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
Angle	45 Degrees between ends, with one end passing through the bulkhead.
Body Style	45° Bulkhead Elbow with integral hex on one side of the bulkhead mount and a separate locknut.
Sealing Mechanism	JIC Ends: Metal-to-metal seal on the 37° flare cones with mating female JIC swivel nuts/flared tubes. Bulkhead Seal: Relies on the locknut compressing the fitting shoulder against the panel. For enhanced environmental sealing, an appropriate flat washer or sealant may be used by the user.
Corrosion Protection	Standard Zinc Plating
Included Component	Locknut (e.g., Part #306 JIC Bulkhead Locknut)
Primary Function	To create a 45-degree, through-panel connection for JIC hydraulic lines, secured by a locknut.
Working Pressure	Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings vary by size.

Applications

The Part 2702 JIC Bulkhead 45° Elbow is ideal for:

Routing hydraulic lines through equipment walls, vehicle chassis, or panels where a 45-degree turn is needed on one side of the panel.
Providing a fixed, angled connection point on a panel for hydraulic hoses or tubes, allowing for smoother line trajectories.
Installations requiring a less sharp bend than a 90-degree elbow at the bulkhead pass-through, helping to reduce flow restriction or hose kinking.
Use in mobile machinery, control systems, industrial equipment, and vehicles where JIC connections need to pass through a barrier with a specific angular change for optimal routing.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Drill or punch an appropriately sized hole in the panel or bulkhead for the fitting's threaded body.
Ensure the panel surface around the hole is clean and flat.
Insert the threaded body of the 45° bulkhead elbow through the hole.
Secure the fitting by sliding the locknut over the protruding threads on the opposite side of the panel and tightening it firmly against the panel surface. Use a wrench on the fitting's hex body to prevent the elbow from rotating during tightening.
Inspect all JIC flare ends and mating female JIC sealing surfaces (cone inside the swivel nut) for cleanliness and any damage.
Connect the male JIC ends of the elbow to the female JIC swivel nuts on the hydraulic hoses or tubes. It's recommended to apply a light coat of system-compatible lubricant (e.g., hydraulic oil) to the threads of the female swivel nuts (avoiding the flare sealing surfaces) to facilitate smooth tightening and prevent thread galling.
Tighten each JIC nut to the manufacturer's specified torque or by employing the "Flats From Wrench Resistance" (FFWR) method.
JIC flare connections achieve a metal-to-metal seal on the flare and do not require thread sealant.
