Part Number: 6806

SAE ORB Male x NPTF Male 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6806 is a 90° adapter elbow designed to connect a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port to a female NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) port, providing a right-angle change in fluid direction. This fitting features a male SAE ORB thread on one end for a secure O-ring seal, and a male NPTF pipe thread on the other for a tapered thread seal. This configuration is ideal when needing to interface components with ORB connections to systems or parts using NPTF threads at a 90-degree angle. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6806 elbow ensures a durable and leak-resistant connection between these two common hydraulic thread types.

Applications

The Part 6806 adapter elbow is crucial for connecting ORB ports to NPTF ports at a right angle:

Connecting hydraulic components with ORB ports (e.g., pumps, valves) to piping systems or components utilizing female NPTF threads, with a 90-degree turn.
Integrating NPTF-ported accessories into an ORB-based hydraulic circuit where a directional change is needed.
Mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic systems where both ORB and NPTF connections are present and angular routing is required.
Facilitating system modifications or plumbing in tight spaces requiring a 90-degree angle between different thread types.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (male ORB O-ring groove, mating female ORB port boss, male NPTF threads, and mating female NPTF port 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 male NPTF end, thread it into the mating female NPTF port. While NPTF is designed for a dry seal, sealant on the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if the mating port is standard NPT or for high pressures.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating components. 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 or over-tightening.
