Part Number: 6402

SAE ORB Male x 37° JIC Female Swivel Nut Adapter

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6402 is a straight adapter designed to connect a male JIC 37° flare fitting or flared tube to a standard SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This fitting features a male SAE O-Ring Boss thread on one end and a female JIC 37° flare swivel nut on the other. The JIC female swivel nut allows for easy alignment and tightening onto a male JIC connection without twisting the hose or tube. This adapter is crucial for integrating components with ORB ports into systems that utilize JIC flare connections. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6402 ensures a secure and leak-free hydraulic connection.

Applications

The Part 6402 adapter is essential for seamlessly connecting ORB ports to JIC male-ended components:

Connecting components with ORB ports (e.g., pumps, valves, cylinders) to hydraulic hoses or tubes terminating in male JIC flare fittings.
Integrating JIC standard components into systems predominantly using SAE O-Ring Boss connections.
Use in mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units.
Facilitating easier assembly in tight spaces due to the JIC female swivel nut.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (ORB O-ring groove and port boss, JIC female seat, and mating male JIC flare) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
For the ORB end, confirm the O-ring is correctly sized, lubricated with system-compatible fluid, and properly seated in its groove on the male ORB fitting. Thread the male ORB end into the female ORB port by hand, then tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque.
Align the female JIC swivel nut with the male JIC flare fitting. The swivel nut should turn freely. Tighten the JIC nut to the recommended torque, ensuring the 37° flare surfaces seat correctly. The swivel action prevents twisting of the adapter body or the male JIC component.
Use backup wrenches where appropriate during tightening.
