DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 6807-SS
SAE ORB Male x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 6807-SS is a 90° elbow, expertly crafted from high-quality stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS). This specialized fitting is designed to connect two female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) ports of the same size at a right angle. It features male SAE O-Ring Boss threads, each with an integrated O-ring groove, on both ends of the elbow, oriented 90 degrees to each other. The robust stainless steel construction ensures exceptional corrosion resistance, making this elbow an ideal choice for demanding hydraulic 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 for long-term, leak-free performance.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS for maximum corrosion and chemical resistance) |
|---|---|
| End 1 Configuration | Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1) |
| End 2 Configuration | Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1) |
| Angle | 90 Degrees |
| Body Style | Elbow with hexagonal (hex) features or flats for secure wrench engagement during installation. |
| Sealing Mechanism | Both ORB ends utilize an elastomeric O-ring (Viton® recommended for stainless steel applications) which seals against the chamfered boss of the mating female ORB port, providing a superior, leak-proof connection. |
| Corrosion Protection | Inherent to the stainless steel material; typically passivated to enhance surface integrity and optimize corrosion resistance. |
| Primary Function | To provide a 90-degree, high-integrity connection between two female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) ports of the same thread size, offering the enhanced durability and superior corrosion resistance of stainless steel. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the elbow and the operational conditions. |
| O-Ring Material (for both ORB ends) | Viton® (FKM) is strongly recommended for stainless steel fittings to ensure compatibility with a wide range of aggressive fluids and extreme temperatures. O-rings are typically supplied with the fitting. |

Applications
The Part 6807-SS Stainless Steel 90° ORB Elbow is essential for:
- Connecting two hydraulic components that both feature female ORB ports (such as manifolds, valve blocks, or pump/motor ports) at a 90-degree angle within stainless steel hydraulic systems.
- Optimizing hydraulic line routing in corrosive environments where stainless steel is required to prevent degradation and maintain system purity and integrity.
- Use in demanding industries including marine and offshore operations, chemical processing plants, food and beverage manufacturing, and pharmaceutical systems where resistance to aggressive media and stringent hygiene standards are critical.
- Ensuring long-term, leak-free performance in critical hydraulic circuits exposed to harsh conditions or frequent cleaning cycles.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly clean all ORB threads, O-ring grooves on both ends of the elbow, and the mating female ORB port surfaces. Ensure all components are undamaged and entirely free from any particulate matter or contaminants.
- Verify that the O-ring material (Viton® is highly recommended for stainless steel and demanding applications) for both ORB ends is correct for the specific system 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 6807-SS elbow, ensuring each is properly and evenly seated in its groove without being twisted, cut, or pinched.
- Thread one ORB male end of the elbow into the first female ORB port by hand until the O-ring makes initial contact and the fitting shoulder seats. Before fully tightening, orient the elbow to the desired 90-degree angle for connection to the second port.
- Align and thread the second ORB male end of the elbow into the other female ORB port by hand until its O-ring makes contact and the shoulder seats.
- Use a wrench on the elbow's central hex body to tighten both ORB connections to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for that ORB size and stainless steel material. If possible and practical, use backup wrenches on the mating components to prevent them from rotating.
- When working with stainless steel fittings, applying a suitable thread lubricant or anti-seize compound (compatible with stainless steel) to the ORB threads is crucial to prevent galling during assembly and ensure proper makeup torque is achieved.
