37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Swivel 90° Elbow - Part 5701

Part Number: 5701

37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Swivel 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 5701 is a specialized 90° adapter elbow designed to connect a 37° JIC male fitting (commonly found on hydraulic hoses with female JIC swivel nuts) to a female NPTF (Dryseal) port. This versatile fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a male NPTF thread with an integrated swivel nut on the other. The swivel NPTF end significantly simplifies installation by allowing the nut to be tightened without rotating the entire elbow or connected components, which is particularly useful in confined spaces or when precise alignment is critical. Manufactured from durable carbon steel, the Part 5701 provides a reliable, leak-resistant 90-degree transition between JIC and NPTF threaded systems.

Key Features & Specifications

Material High-Grade Carbon Steel
End 1 Configuration Male 37° JIC Flare (SAE J514)
End 2 Configuration Male NPTF (Dryseal) with Swivel Nut (ANSI B1.20.3, SAE J476)
Angle 90 Degrees
Swivel Feature NPTF male end features a swivel nut for ease of installation and alignment.
Sealing Mechanism JIC end: Metal-to-metal seal on the 37° flare cone. NPTF end: Metal-to-metal seal on Dryseal threads.
Corrosion Protection Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability.
Primary Function To adapt a JIC connection to an NPTF port at a 90° angle, with swivel capability on the NPTF end.
Working Pressure Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific ratings depend on size.

Applications

The Part 5701 adapter elbow is essential in scenarios requiring a 90-degree connection between JIC and NPTF systems:

  • Connecting hydraulic hoses with female JIC swivel ends to components with female NPTF ports (e.g., pumps, motors, valves, cylinders).
  • Use in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic systems where different thread standards coexist.
  • Simplifying plumbing in tight spaces due to the swivel NPTF end allowing for easier alignment and tightening.
  • Maintenance and repair work involving the integration of JIC and NPTF components.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

  • Ensure all threads (JIC male flare, NPTF male swivel, mating female JIC swivel, and mating female NPTF port) are clean, undamaged, and free from contaminants.
  • Connect the male JIC flare end to the female JIC swivel nut, ensuring the 37° flare surfaces are correctly aligned and seat properly. Tighten the JIC nut to the recommended torque.
  • Position the swivel male NPTF end against its mating female NPTF 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 JIC component.
  • NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. If the mating female port is standard NPT, a compatible thread sealant or lubricant on the male NPTF threads is recommended.
  • Tighten both connections securely to achieve a leak-proof seal. The swivel end significantly aids in achieving proper orientation and torque without imparting stress to the JIC connection.

Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 5701?

  • Versatile Adapting: Seamlessly connects JIC 37° flare systems to NPTF threaded ports at a 90° angle.
