Part Number: 6804-SS

37° JIC Male x SAE ORB Male Run Tee (Stainless Steel)

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6804-SS is a run tee adapter, precision-machined from high-quality stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS). This fitting is engineered to create a T-junction within hydraulic systems, specifically featuring two male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) threaded ends on the straight-through 'run' portion and one male JIC 37° flare end on the 90-degree branch. This configuration allows for a primary fluid line utilizing ORB connections to have a JIC branch take-off, for purposes such as connecting auxiliary lines, gauges, or components with JIC female ends. The robust stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making this run tee ideal for demanding applications in marine environments, chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, pharmaceutical industries, or any system where material integrity and resistance to harsh conditions are paramount.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS for superior corrosion and chemical resistance)
Run End 1 Configuration	Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1)
Run End 2 Configuration	Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1)
Branch End Configuration	Male 37° JIC Flare (conforming to SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2)
Body Style	Run Tee Adapter with hexagonal (hex) features or flats for secure wrench engagement during installation.
Sealing Mechanism	ORB Ends: Both utilize an elastomeric O-ring (Viton® recommended for stainless steel) which seals against the chamfered boss of the mating female ORB ports, providing highly reliable, leak-proof seals. JIC End: Achieves a robust metal-to-metal seal on its 37° flare cone when connected to a female JIC swivel fitting.
Corrosion Protection	Inherent to the stainless steel material; typically passivated to enhance surface integrity and corrosion resistance.
Primary Function	To provide a T-junction in a hydraulic line, featuring two male ORB connections on the run (straight-through path) and one male JIC connection on the 90-degree branch, all with the superior corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Working Pressure	Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings depend on the size of the fitting and the operational conditions.
O-Ring Material (for ORB ends)	Viton® (FKM) is strongly recommended for stainless steel applications to ensure compatibility with a wide range of aggressive fluids and extreme temperatures. O-rings are typically supplied with the ORB ends.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #6804-SS Series)

Delphi Fittings offers the 6804-SS Stainless Steel JIC Male x ORB Male Run Tee in various size combinations. Sizes are typically denoted by the ORB dash numbers for the run ends and a JIC dash number for the branch. Often, the two run ends are of the same size.

Examples include (Male ORB Run x Male ORB Run x Male JIC Branch):

6804-08-08-06-SS: -08 ORB x -08 ORB (Run) x 3/8" (9/16-18 UNF) JIC (Branch) (Example with a reducing branch)
6804-10-10-10-SS: -10 ORB x -10 ORB (Run) x 5/8" (7/8-14 UNF) JIC (Branch)
6804-12-12-12-SS: -12 ORB x -12 ORB (Run) x 3/4" (1-1/16-12 UNF) JIC (Branch)

Note: Each ORB male end includes an appropriate O-ring (Viton® recommended for stainless steel applications). For specific size combinations, including configurations with different run end sizes (if available), or particular material grade requirements (e.g., 316L), please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 6804-SS Stainless Steel Run Tee is essential for:

Creating a JIC branch line from a main hydraulic line that utilizes ORB connections, especially in systems where stainless steel's corrosion resistance is mandated.
Adding test points, pressure gauges, sensors, or auxiliary hydraulic circuits to an existing ORB-based system within corrosive or high-purity environments.
Applications in marine and offshore installations, chemical processing facilities, food and beverage manufacturing equipment, and pharmaceutical production lines where material integrity against aggressive substances or frequent washdowns is critical.
Maintaining material consistency throughout all-stainless steel hydraulic systems to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all ORB threads, O-ring grooves, the JIC flare on the branch, and all mating port/fitting surfaces are meticulously clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
Verify that the O-ring material (Viton® is recommended for stainless steel) for both ORB ends is correct for the specific application's fluid, temperature, and pressure. Ensure the O-rings are correctly lubricated with a system-compatible fluid or an appropriate O-ring lubricant.
Carefully install the lubricated O-rings onto both ORB male ends of the tee, ensuring each is properly and evenly seated in its groove without being twisted, cut, or pinched.
Thread the ORB male ends of the tee into the respective female ORB ports by hand until the O-rings make initial contact and the fitting shoulders seat. Before fully tightening, orient the tee to ensure the JIC branch is positioned correctly for the connecting line.
Once oriented, use a wrench on the tee's hex body or flats to tighten both ORB connections to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for that ORB size and stainless steel material.
Connect the male JIC flare branch end of the tee to a mating female JIC swivel fitting. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Lightly lubricate the threads of the JIC swivel nut (not the flare sealing surface) with a system-compatible fluid. Tighten the JIC swivel nut to the recommended torque for the specific JIC size.
Always use appropriate backup wrenches on the tee body and mating components during tightening to prevent distortion or damage. For stainless steel fittings, applying a suitable thread lubricant or anti-seize compound (compatible with stainless steel) to all threads (ORB and JIC swivel nut) is crucial to prevent galling during assembly.
