Part Number: 5504
NPTF Pipe Female 90° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5504 is an NPTF Pipe Female 90° Elbow, engineered to facilitate a 90-degree change in the direction of a pipe run. This fitting features female NPTF (Dryseal) threads on both ends, allowing it to connect two male NPTF threaded pipes or fittings. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel for optimal strength and durability, the Part 5504 elbow is essential for creating tight, leak-resistant angular connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, and various industrial fluid systems.

Applications
The Part 5504 NPTF Pipe Female 90° Elbow is widely used in systems requiring a right-angle turn between two male-threaded components:
- Connecting two male NPTF pipes or nipples at a 90-degree angle in hydraulic and pneumatic lines.
- Routing pipework around obstacles or along structural elements in industrial machinery.
- Use in automotive fluid systems, fuel lines, and air systems where male-ended components need to be joined at an angle.
- Construction and agricultural equipment hydraulic circuits.
- General plumbing and piping applications within manufacturing plants requiring durable angular connections.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Inspect all threads (both female ends of the elbow and the mating male pipes/fittings) for cleanliness and any damage before assembly.
- Hand-thread the male NPTF pipes or fittings into each end of the female elbow to ensure proper alignment and avoid cross-threading.
- Use appropriately sized wrenches on the body of the elbow or on designated wrench flats (if present), and on the mating male fittings, to tighten the connections securely.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed for a metal-to-metal seal. If mating with standard NPT male threads, applying a compatible thread sealant to the male threads is recommended to ensure a leak-proof connection.
- Careful tightening is required to achieve the desired orientation of the connected pipes/fittings without over or under-tightening, which could compromise the seal or damage the components.
