DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5702-SS
NPTF Pipe Female x Pipe Swivel Male 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5702-SS is a versatile 90° street elbow that features one female NPTF (Dryseal) end and one male NPTF pipe swivel end. This unique design allows for an easy-to-install, right-angle connection between a male NPTF fitting and another component with a female NPTF port. The swivel end is particularly advantageous as it allows the male thread to be tightened without rotating the entire elbow body, simplifying alignment in tight or complex plumbing. Manufactured from premium stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS), this elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications where durability and ease of installation are key.

Applications
The Part 5702-SS Stainless Steel Swivel Street Elbow is ideal for:
- Creating a compact 90-degree connection between male and female NPTF ports where one connection requires orientation without disturbing the other.
- Use in marine and offshore hydraulic systems, chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, and pharmaceutical production where corrosion resistance is essential.
- Simplifying plumbing in tight spaces by allowing the final connection to be made without rotating the fitting body, perfect for gauge installation or connecting to fixed ports.
- Providing a strong, durable, and leak-resistant right-angle connection for stainless steel piping systems.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all mating threads 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 all male threads being connected. If mating with standard NPT ports, a compatible sealant (like PTFE tape) is also required.
- Thread the male NPTF swivel end into the mating female port. Tighten the swivel nut with a wrench while holding the elbow body in the desired 90-degree orientation.
- Thread a mating male NPTF fitting into the female end of the elbow and tighten securely.
- Use appropriate backup wrenches on the elbow body and mating components to prevent distortion or damage.
