Part Number: 6801

37° JIC Male x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6801 is a 90° adapter elbow designed to create a secure, right-angle connection between a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system and an SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a male SAE O-Ring Boss thread on the other. It is commonly used to connect hydraulic hoses with female JIC swivel ends or flared tubes to components such as pumps, valves, cylinders, or manifolds that are equipped with female SAE ORB ports. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6801 elbow ensures a reliable, leak-free 90-degree transition and flow redirection between these two prevalent hydraulic connection types.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #6801 Series)

Delphi Fittings offers the 37° JIC Male x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow in a variety of common JIC and ORB size combinations. Sizes are typically denoted by dash numbers (e.g., -04 for 1/4" JIC and -04 for ORB) or corresponding thread specifications.

Examples include (Male JIC x Male ORB):

6801-04-04: 1/4" (7/16-20) JIC Male x -04 (7/16-20) ORB Male
6801-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x -06 (9/16-18) ORB Male
6801-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x -08 (3/4-16) ORB Male
6801-10-10: 5/8" (7/8-14) JIC Male x -10 (7/8-14) ORB Male
6801-12-12: 3/4" (1-1/16-12) JIC Male x -12 (1-1/16-12) ORB Male
6801-16-16: 1" (1-5/16-12) JIC Male x -16 (1-5/16-12) ORB Male
Reducing configurations also available, e.g., 6801-06-04: 3/8" JIC Male x -04 ORB Male

Note: JIC and ORB threads can share the same UNF thread size for a given dash size, but their sealing methods differ. Always ensure compatibility. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team. Long (6801L) and Extra Long (6801LL) versions are also available for applications requiring extended reach.

Applications

The Part 6801 adapter elbow is widely used for integrating JIC and ORB components at a 90-degree angle:

Connecting hydraulic hoses with female JIC swivel ends to ORB ports on hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, and cylinders where a right-angle connection is needed.
Routing flared tubing with JIC connections to ORB ports in tight spaces.
Essential in mobile equipment (construction, agriculture, forestry), industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units requiring both JIC and ORB interfaces.
Facilitating clean and organized hydraulic plumbing by allowing directional changes at the point of connection.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flare, ORB O-ring groove, mating JIC female seat, and ORB port boss) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
For the ORB end, ensure 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.
Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, ensuring the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Hand-tighten.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating fittings. Tighten the ORB end to the recommended torque specification for its size. Then, tighten the JIC nut to its recommended torque. The orientation of the elbow must be considered during tightening.
Use backup wrenches as needed to prevent stress on components.
