DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5700
NPTF Pipe Male x Pipe Swivel Male 90° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5700 is an NPTF Pipe Male x Pipe Swivel Male 90° Elbow, engineered to provide a 90-degree directional change in fluid systems with enhanced installation flexibility. This innovative elbow features one standard male NPTF (Dryseal) end and one male NPTF (Dryseal) end equipped with a swivel nut. The swivel nut allows the fitting to be tightened onto a female NPTF port without needing to rotate the entire elbow assembly or the mating component. This is particularly advantageous in confined spaces or when aligning with fixed ports. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel, the Part 5700 ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications.

Applications
The Part 5700 Swivel Elbow is particularly useful in applications where installation access or alignment is challenging:
- Connecting to fixed ports on hydraulic components (pumps, valves, cylinders) in confined spaces.
- Assembly of complex piping systems where pre-aligned components need to be connected without inducing stress.
- Maintenance and repair situations where quick and easy fitting installation is beneficial.
- Pneumatic control systems requiring precise orientation of components.
- Industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and automotive fluid systems.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads (both male ends of the swivel elbow and the mating female ports) are clean, undamaged, and free from contaminants.
- Thread the standard male NPTF end into its mating female port and tighten appropriately, achieving the general orientation.
- Position the swivel male NPTF end against its mating female port. Hold the elbow body steady and tighten the swivel nut using an appropriate wrench. The swivel action allows the nut to be tightened without rotating the elbow body or the connected component.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. If mating with standard NPT female ports, a compatible thread sealant or lubricant on the male threads is recommended.
- Tighten both ends securely to achieve a leak-proof connection. The swivel end simplifies achieving proper torque and alignment without twisting hoses or other attached parts.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 5700?
- Simplified Installation: The swivel nut on one male end significantly eases assembly, especially in tight or difficult-to-reach areas.
- Reduced Stress on Components: Prevents twisting of hoses or connected parts during tightening.
- Secure NPTF Sealing: Provides reliable, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seals for demanding applications.
