Part Number: 6815

SAE ORB Male x SAE ORB Female 90° Elbow

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 6815 is an SAE ORB Male x SAE ORB Female 90° Elbow, often referred to as an ORB street elbow. This adapter fitting provides a 90-degree directional change and features one male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) end and one female SAE ORB port (with internal boss) on the other end. The male ORB end connects directly into a female ORB port on a component, while the female ORB end of the elbow accepts another male ORB fitting. This configuration is useful for making a right-angle turn directly from a component port while still allowing another ORB fitting to be connected. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 6815 provides a compact, leak-resistant solution for specific hydraulic plumbing needs. While versatile, its applications can sometimes be more specialized ("Use may be limited") compared to other adapter types.

Note: Always verify the specific ORB size required for your application. For unlisted sizes or reducing configurations, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 6815 SAE ORB Street Elbow is particularly useful for:

Making a 90-degree turn directly out of a component's ORB port while providing another ORB port for further connection.
Space-saving installations where using a separate nipple and standard elbow is not feasible.
Connecting gauges or sensors at a right angle to a port, with the gauge having a male ORB thread.
Hydraulic manifolds and valve blocks in mobile and industrial equipment.
While versatile, its "limited use" notation may imply that for some applications, other adapter combinations might offer more flexibility or be more commonly stocked. However, for direct ORB port-to-ORB fitting angular connections, it is an ideal solution.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (male ORB O-ring groove, mating female ORB port boss, internal boss of this adapter's female ORB end, and mating male ORB fitting's O-ring) are clean, undamaged, and free from contaminants.
Verify the O-ring on this adapter's male ORB end is correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread the male ORB end into the mating female ORB port and tighten to the recommended torque.
Ensure the mating male ORB fitting (for the female end of this adapter) has its O-ring correctly sized, lubricated, and seated. Thread it into the female ORB end of the 6815 elbow and tighten to recommended torque.
Use appropriate wrenches on the elbow body and mating fittings to achieve the correct orientation and secure connections.
Proper torque is essential for both ORB connections to ensure the O-rings seal correctly without damage.
