DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5701-SS
37° JIC Male to NPTF Male Pipe Swivel 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5701-SS is a 90° adapter elbow designed to connect a JIC (37° flare) line to a female NPTF port, with the added benefit of a swivel on the NPTF end. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a male NPTF pipe swivel on the other. The swivel mechanism on the NPTF end allows for easy installation and precise orientation without having to rotate the entire elbow fitting. Manufactured from premium stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS), this elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemicals, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications in marine, food and beverage, chemical processing, and other harsh environments.

Applications
The Part 5701-SS Stainless Steel Swivel Elbow is ideal for:
- Connecting a female JIC swivel hose end to a fixed female NPTF port where precise alignment of the hose is critical.
- Use in marine and offshore hydraulic systems, chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, and pharmaceutical production where corrosion resistance is essential.
- Simplifying installation in tight or complex plumbing by allowing the NPTF connection to be tightened without rotating the JIC end of the elbow.
- Providing a strong, durable, and leak-resistant right-angle connection for stainless steel piping systems.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all mating threads (JIC male flare, female NPTF port) and sealing surfaces are meticulously clean and free from any damage or contaminants.
- It is highly recommended to apply a thread lubricant or anti-galling paste suitable for stainless steel to the male NPTF swivel thread. If mating with a standard NPT port, a compatible sealant (like PTFE tape) is also required.
- Thread the NPTF swivel end into the female port. The swivel action allows you to tighten this connection with a wrench while holding the elbow body in the desired 90-degree orientation.
- Connect the mating female JIC swivel nut to the male JIC flare end of the elbow. Tighten to the recommended torque for the JIC size. No sealant is used on the JIC flare connection.
