DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 6502
37° JIC Male x JIC Female Swivel 45° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6502 is a 37° JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel 45° Elbow. This adapter fitting is designed to create a 45-degree angular connection in hydraulic fluid systems. It features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female JIC 37° swivel nut on the other. The swivel capability of the female end is crucial for facilitating easy installation and precise alignment, especially when connecting to hoses or tubes in confined areas, as it prevents the need to twist the entire assembly. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel and finished with zinc plating for superior corrosion resistance, the Part 6502 elbow provides a durable, leak-free connection that adheres 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 | 45 Degrees |
| Body Style | Elbow Adapter with hexagonal features for secure wrench tightening. |
| Sealing Mechanism | Both ends utilize a metal-to-metal seal: the male end on its 37° flare cone, and the female swivel end on its internal 37° cone seat, when connected to respective mating JIC fittings. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability and rust prevention. |
| 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 45° angle, with the female swivel end allowing for easy orientation and stress-free installation of the connecting line. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific pressure ratings vary by the size of the fitting. |

Applications
The Part 6502 JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel 45° Elbow is frequently used in:
- Connecting hydraulic hoses or rigid tubes to components at a 45-degree angle, allowing for smoother bends and optimized line routing compared to 90-degree elbows in specific scenarios.
- Installations where the swivel feature is beneficial for simplifying alignment and tightening procedures, especially in areas with limited access or to prevent imparting torsional stress on the connected hose or tube.
- A wide range of fluid power systems across industries such as mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, manufacturing, and material handling, where angled JIC connections with easy installation are desired.
- Improving line routing to avoid obstacles or to achieve a more gradual change in fluid direction.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect all JIC flare (male end) and cone sealing surfaces (female swivel end and the mating male fitting) to ensure they are clean, free from any damage, nicks, or contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC flare end of the Part 6502 elbow to a mating female JIC swivel fitting or port. Tighten the swivel nut of the mating fitting to the manufacturer's recommended torque for that specific JIC size.
- Connect the female JIC swivel end of the Part 6502 elbow to a mating male JIC fitting or a correctly flared tube end. The swivel feature allows the elbow body to be held stationary in the desired 45-degree orientation while the swivel nut is tightened independently to the recommended torque.
- Always use appropriate backup wrenches on the elbow body and the mating components during tightening to prevent distortion, over-tightening, or damage to the fittings or connected lines.
- No thread sealant is required for JIC flare connections, as the seal is achieved by the precise metal-to-metal contact of the 37° flare and cone surfaces.
- It is good practice to apply a light film of system-compatible lubricant to the threads of the swivel nut (not on the sealing surfaces) to ensure smooth tightening and achieve accurate torque application.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 6502?
- Flexible Alignment & Installation: The female swivel end significantly simplifies the installation process by allowing the elbow to be oriented at the precise 45° angle needed before fully tightening the connection, without twisting the hose or tube.
- Optimized Hydraulic Routing: The 45° angle provides a valuable alternative to 90° elbows, enabling smoother line routing, potentially reducing pressure drop, and helping to avoid interferences in complex systems.
- Reliable JIC Sealing Performance: Both connection ends utilize the industry-proven SAE J514 37° flare metal-to-metal seal, ensuring high-pressure integrity and leak-free operation.
- Durable Carbon Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel for excellent strength and resilience in demanding hydraulic environments.
- Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Standard zinc plating offers robust protection against rust and other forms of corrosion, extending the fitting's service life.
- Adherence to Industry Standards: Fully meets SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2 specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and interchangeability with other standard JIC components.
- Quality Assured Manufacturing: Produced under Delphi Fittings' stringent ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.
