Part Number: 6805

SAE ORB Male x NPTF Female 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6805 is a 90° adapter elbow designed to connect a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port to a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) pipe or fitting, providing a right-angle change in direction. This fitting features a male SAE ORB thread on one end, which seals via an O-ring, and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other end. This configuration is ideal for situations where an NPTF-threaded component needs to be connected to an ORB port at a 90-degree angle. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6805 elbow ensures a secure and leak-resistant connection between these two different hydraulic thread types.

Key Features & Specifications

Applications

The Part 6805 adapter elbow is essential for connecting ORB ports to male NPTF components at a right angle:

Connecting NPTF-threaded pipes, hoses with NPTF male ends, or accessories like pressure gauges to ORB ports on hydraulic components where a 90-degree turn is required.
Integrating NPTF standard components into systems predominantly using SAE O-Ring Boss connections with a directional change.
Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units where mixed thread types require angular adaptation.
Facilitating system plumbing in tight spaces where a direct straight connection is not feasible.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (male ORB O-ring groove, mating female ORB port boss, female NPTF threads, and mating male NPTF fitting threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
For the male ORB end of this adapter, ensure its O-ring is correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread this end into the mating female ORB port by hand.
For the female NPTF end, thread the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting into it. While NPTF provides a dry seal, sealant on the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high pressures.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating fittings. Tighten the ORB end to the recommended torque. Then, tighten the NPTF connection, ensuring the elbow is correctly oriented.
Use backup wrenches where necessary to prevent component distortion.
