Part Number: 6809

SAE ORB Male x 37° JIC Female Swivel 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6809 is a 90° adapter elbow specifically designed to connect a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port to a male JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare fitting or flared tube, providing a right-angle change in direction. This fitting features a male SAE ORB thread on one end for a high-pressure O-ring seal, and a female JIC 37° flare swivel nut on the other end. The JIC swivel nut allows for easy installation and alignment without twisting the mating hose or tube, which is particularly beneficial in tight or complex hydraulic circuits. Manufactured from durable carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6809 elbow ensures a secure and leak-free connection between these two common hydraulic fitting standards.

Applications

The Part 6809 adapter elbow is essential for connecting ORB ports to male JIC-ended components at a 90-degree angle:

Connecting components with ORB ports (e.g., pumps, valves) to hydraulic hoses or tubes terminating in male JIC flare fittings, where a right-angle connection is necessary.
Facilitating easier assembly in tight spaces or complex routing due to the JIC swivel nut.
Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units that require interfacing between ORB and JIC standards with a directional change.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (male ORB O-ring groove, mating female ORB port boss, female JIC swivel seat, and mating male JIC flare) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
For the ORB end, ensure its O-ring is correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread the male ORB end into the female ORB port and tighten to the recommended torque.
Align the female JIC swivel nut with the male JIC flare fitting. The swivel nut should turn freely, allowing the nut to be tightened without twisting the elbow body or the mating JIC component. Tighten the JIC nut to the recommended torque.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body (if flats are provided), the ORB end, and the JIC swivel nut.
The swivel feature helps in achieving the correct orientation and preventing stress on the connected hose or tube.
