Part Number: 6801L

37° JIC Male x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow Long

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6801L is an extended version of the standard 90° JIC Male to SAE ORB Male adapter elbow. It is specifically designed to provide additional reach when connecting a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system to a recessed or hard-to-access 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 with an extended body or ORB end on the other. This "long" configuration is crucial for applications where standard-length fittings cannot adequately engage or provide necessary clearance. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated, the Part 6801L ensures a secure, leak-free 90-degree transition in challenging installation scenarios.

Applications

The Part 6801L adapter elbow is specifically designed for situations where standard elbows lack sufficient reach:

Connecting hydraulic hoses or tubes to deeply recessed ORB ports on hydraulic components.
Installations requiring additional clearance from the component body or surrounding obstructions.
Mobile equipment and industrial machinery where space constraints necessitate longer fittings for proper connection.
Ensuring secure O-ring seating in ORB ports that are difficult to access with standard length fittings.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
Verify the O-ring on the extended male ORB end is correctly sized, lubricated, and properly seated.
Carefully guide the extended ORB end into the recessed port and hand-thread to ensure proper engagement.
Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, aligning the flare surfaces. Hand-tighten.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating fittings. Tighten the ORB end to its recommended torque. Then, tighten the JIC nut to its recommended torque, ensuring the elbow is correctly oriented.
The extended length helps in properly seating the O-ring and achieving adequate thread engagement in difficult-to-reach ports.
