DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 6805L
SAE ORB Male x NPTF Female 90° Long Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6805L is an extended-length version of the SAE ORB Male x NPTF Female 90° Elbow. It is engineered to connect a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port to a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) pipe or fitting, providing a 90-degree change in direction with additional reach. This "long" elbow features a male SAE ORB thread on one end and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other, with an extended body to facilitate connections in applications where standard-length elbows are insufficient due to recessed ports or clearance issues. Made from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated, the Part 6805L ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring extended reach.

Applications
The Part 6805L long elbow is particularly useful for:
- Connecting NPTF-threaded components to ORB ports that are deeply recessed or obstructed.
- Installations requiring additional clearance between the connected components or surrounding structures.
- Mobile equipment and industrial machinery where space is at a premium and extended fittings are necessary for proper plumbing.
- Ensuring secure and accessible connections in challenging hydraulic layouts.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean and inspect all threads and sealing surfaces.
- Ensure the O-ring on the male ORB end is correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread the extended male ORB end into the mating female ORB port by hand.
- Thread the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting into the female NPTF end of the elbow. Apply thread sealant to the male NPTF threads if mating with standard NPT or for enhanced sealing.
- 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.
- The extended length is designed to overcome reach issues; ensure it does not introduce undue leverage or vibration susceptibility without proper support if applicable.
