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.
