Part Number: 6410
SAE ORB Male x SAE ORB Female Reducer/Expander
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6410 is an SAE ORB Male x SAE ORB Female Reducer/Expander adapter. This versatile straight fitting is designed to connect two SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) components of different thread sizes. It features a male SAE ORB thread on one end and a female SAE ORB port (with internal boss for O-ring sealing) on the other. Depending on the specific configuration, this adapter can function as a reducer (e.g., larger male ORB to smaller female ORB) or an expander (e.g., smaller male ORB to larger female ORB). Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6410 provides a reliable, leak-proof solution for adapting ORB port sizes in hydraulic systems.
Key Features & Specifications

Applications
The Part 6410 adapter is essential for connecting ORB components of different sizes:
- Stepping up or stepping down port sizes within a hydraulic manifold or on components like pumps, valves, and cylinders.
- Integrating existing components with mismatched ORB port sizes into a new or modified system.
- Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and any hydraulic system utilizing SAE O-Ring Boss connections where size adaptation is necessary.
- Providing flexibility in system design and component selection.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (O-ring grooves, mating port bosses, internal boss of the female ORB end) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
- For the male ORB end of this adapter, ensure its O-ring is correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread this end into the mating female ORB port and tighten to the recommended torque.
- For the female ORB end of this adapter, ensure the mating male ORB fitting has its O-ring correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread the male ORB fitting into this adapter's female ORB port and tighten to the recommended torque.
- Use appropriate wrenches on the hex body of the adapter and on the mating fittings. Use backup wrenches as needed to prevent distortion.
- Proper torque is crucial for achieving the correct O-ring compression and a reliable seal on both ORB connections.
