Part Number: 6500

37° JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6500 is a 37° JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel 90° Elbow. This versatile adapter provides a 90-degree change in direction in hydraulic lines, featuring a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female JIC 37° swivel nut on the other. The swivel nut allows for easy alignment and installation without twisting the hose or tube, making it ideal for connecting components in tight spaces or complex routings where precise orientation is required. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6500 elbow ensures a reliable, leak-free connection conforming to SAE J514 standards.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
End 1 Configuration	Male 37° JIC Flare (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
End 2 Configuration	Female 37° JIC Swivel Nut (per SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
Angle	90 Degrees
Body Style	Elbow Adapter with hexagonal features for secure wrench tightening.
Sealing Mechanism	Both ends utilize a metal-to-metal seal on the 37° flare cone (male end) and the 37° cone seat (inside the female swivel end) when connected to mating JIC fittings.
Corrosion Protection	Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability and resistance to rust.
Primary Function	To connect a male JIC flare fitting (or flared tube end) to another male JIC flare fitting (or flared tube end) at a 90° angle, with the female swivel end allowing for easy orientation and stress-free installation.
Working Pressure	Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific pressure ratings vary by size and should be confirmed for the application.

Applications

The Part 6500 JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel 90° Elbow is widely used in:

Connecting hydraulic hoses, tubes, or other fittings to components at a 90-degree angle, especially where precise alignment is crucial without inducing torsional stress on the connected line.
Installations in confined or awkward spaces where the swivel feature greatly simplifies the tightening process and allows for optimal component orientation.
Mobile equipment (construction, agriculture, forestry machinery), industrial machinery, manufacturing systems, and various fluid power systems requiring angled JIC connections.
Facilitating easier assembly, disassembly, and maintenance by allowing the nut to be tightened independently of the hose or tube's final orientation.
Reducing the need for hose or tube assemblies with pre-bent ends in some scenarios.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all JIC flare (male end) and cone sealing surfaces (female swivel end and mating male fitting) are clean, free from damage, nicks, or any contaminants.
Connect the male JIC end of the elbow to a mating female JIC swivel fitting or port. Tighten the swivel nut to the recommended torque for the specific JIC size.
Connect the female JIC swivel end of the elbow to a mating male JIC fitting or a flared tube end. The swivel feature allows the elbow body to be held in the desired 90-degree orientation while the swivel nut is tightened independently to the recommended torque.
Use backup wrenches on the elbow body and the mating components as necessary to prevent distortion or damage during the tightening process.
No thread sealant is used on JIC flare connections, as the seal is achieved by metal-to-metal contact on the 37° flare and cone surfaces.
Apply a light coat of system-compatible lubricant to the threads of the swivel nut to ensure smooth tightening and achieve accurate torque, but avoid lubricant on the sealing surfaces.

Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 6500?

Simplified Installation & Alignment: The female swivel end allows for easy installation and precise orientation of the 90° elbow without twisting hoses or tubes, preventing stress on the assembly.
