DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 6504
37° JIC Male x JIC Female Swivel Connector
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6504 is a straight 37° JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel Connector. This adapter is designed to provide a straight, in-line connection between two JIC components, featuring a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female JIC 37° swivel nut on the other. The swivel feature on the female end is crucial for easy installation and alignment, especially when connecting to hydraulic hoses or tubes, as it prevents twisting and ensures a stress-free connection. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance, the Part 6504 connector guarantees a reliable, leak-proof seal in hydraulic systems compliant with 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) |
| Body Style | Straight Connector/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 robust protection against rust and corrosion. |
| Primary Function | To connect a male JIC flare fitting to another male JIC flare fitting or a flared tube in a straight line, with the female swivel end facilitating easy orientation and preventing torsional stress on the connected line during tightening. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Specific pressure ratings vary depending on the size of the fitting. |

Applications
The Part 6504 JIC Male to JIC Female Swivel Connector is frequently utilized for:
- Connecting hydraulic hoses or tubes equipped with female JIC ends to fixed male JIC ports or other male JIC fittings in a straight, in-line configuration.
- Applications where the swivel end significantly eases installation by allowing the nut to be tightened without rotating the entire hose or tube assembly, preventing kinks and ensuring proper alignment.
- Extending an existing JIC connection where a swivel feature is desired for improved accessibility or to reduce stress on the line.
- Commonly used in various hydraulic systems across diverse industries such as mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, manufacturing processes, and material handling.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect all JIC flare (male end) and cone sealing surfaces (female swivel end and mating male fitting) to ensure they are clean, free from any damage, nicks, or contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC flare end of the Part 6504 connector 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 JIC size.
- Connect the female JIC swivel end of the Part 6504 connector to a mating male JIC fitting or a correctly flared tube end. The swivel feature allows the connector body to be held stationary while the swivel nut is tightened independently to the correct torque specification.
- Always use appropriate backup wrenches on the connector body and the mating components during the tightening process to prevent distortion, over-tightening, or damage to the fittings.
- 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. A light application of system-compatible lubricant on the threads of the swivel nut (not on the sealing surfaces) can aid in achieving the proper torque and ensure smooth tightening.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 6504?
- Simplified Installation and Alignment: The female swivel end allows for easy, stress-free alignment and tightening of connections, preventing twisting of hoses or tubes.
