DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 6801LL
37° JIC Male x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow Extra Long
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6801LL is an extra-long version of the 90° JIC Male to SAE ORB Male adapter elbow. It is specifically engineered to provide maximum extended reach when connecting a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system to a deeply recessed or exceptionally 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 a significantly extended body or ORB end on the other. This "extra long" configuration is critical for applications where standard or even "long" (6801L) versions cannot provide sufficient clearance or engagement. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated, the Part 6801LL ensures a secure, leak-free 90-degree transition in the most challenging installation scenarios requiring maximum reach.

Applications
The Part 6801LL adapter elbow is indispensable for situations requiring maximum reach:
- Connecting hydraulic lines to extremely deeply recessed ORB ports within complex machinery or component housings.
- Installations where significant clearance is needed to avoid interference with other parts of the assembly.
- Specialized mobile equipment and industrial machinery designs with challenging port access.
- Ensuring secure O-ring seating and proper thread engagement in ORB ports that are exceptionally difficult to reach with standard or "long" fittings.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all threads and sealing surfaces.
- Ensure the O-ring on the extra-long male ORB end is correctly sized, lubricated, and properly seated.
- Carefully guide the extra-extended ORB end into the recessed port and hand-thread to ensure correct engagement.
- Connect the male JIC end to the female JIC swivel nut, aligning the flare surfaces, and 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, while maintaining the desired elbow orientation.
- The extra-long design is specifically to facilitate connection in maximum reach scenarios.
