DELPHI FITTINGS
Part #: FS1703
ORFS Male x Code 61 Flange 45° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS1703 is a 45° elbow flange head adapter, designed to provide a secure, angled connection between a SAE Code 61 flange port and a female SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fitting or prepared tube end. This fitting features a Code 61 flange head with an O-ring groove on one end, and a male ORFS end with its distinctive flat face and O-ring groove on the other, with the two ends oriented at a 45-degree angle. It is intended for use with a Code 61 split flange kit (two halves, bolts, and washers) or a captive flange to create a high-integrity seal against the Code 61 port. The ORFS connection offers superior leak protection, particularly in high-vibration applications. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, this adapter conforms to SAE J518 (flange) and SAE J1453 (ORFS) standards, ensuring reliability in hydraulic systems requiring a 45-degree change in direction at the flange point.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Carbon Steel |
|---|---|
| End 1 Configuration | Male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| End 2 Configuration | SAE Code 61 Flange Head (conforming to SAE J518 / ISO 6162-1) |
| Angle | 45 Degrees |
| Body Style | 45° Elbow Flange Head Adapter, typically forged for strength, with hex or flats for orientation. |
| Sealing Mechanism | ORFS End: Utilizes an elastomeric O-ring (seated in its groove) which compresses against the flat face of the mating female ORFS swivel fitting. Flange End: Utilizes an elastomeric O-ring (seated in the groove on the flange head) which compresses against the flat face of the mating Code 61 port, secured by a split or captive flange kit. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability and resistance to environmental corrosion. |
| Primary Function | To provide a 45-degree, leak-proof connection from a SAE Code 61 flange port to a female ORFS swivel fitting or prepared tube end, facilitating an angled take-off. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for standard duty high-pressure hydraulic systems as defined by SAE Code 61 (typically 3000-5000 PSI depending on size). |
| O-Ring Material (for both ends) | Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request. O-rings are supplied with the fitting. |
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #FS1703 Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the ORFS Male x Code 61 Flange 45° Elbow in a variety of common ORFS and Code 61 flange sizes.
Examples include (Male ORFS x Code 61 Flange Size):
- FS1703-08-08: 1/2" (-08) ORFS Male x 1/2" (-08) Code 61 Flange
- FS1703-10-10: 5/8" (-10) ORFS Male x 5/8" (-10) Code 61 Flange
- FS1703-12-12: 3/4" (-12) ORFS Male x 3/4" (-12) Code 61 Flange
- FS1703-16-16: 1" (-16) ORFS Male x 1" (-16) Code 61 Flange
Note: Each flange head and ORFS male end includes an appropriate O-ring. This adapter requires a separate Code 61 split flange kit (e.g., Part 61SF-KIT) or captive flange and bolts for installation. For unlisted size combinations, specific material requirements (e.g., stainless steel options), or other custom needs, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part FS1703 ORFS Male x Code 61 Flange 45° Elbow is ideal for:
- Connecting hydraulic hoses or tubes with female ORFS swivel ends to SAE Code 61 flange ports on hydraulic components like pumps, motors, valves, and cylinders, where a 45-degree change in direction is required for optimal routing.
- Integrating ORFS standard lines, known for their excellent seal in high vibration conditions, into systems that utilize Code 61 flange connections, allowing for a smoother bend than a 90-degree elbow.
- Use in mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, and various hydraulic systems where a secure and reliable angled transition from a flange port to an ORFS connection is needed.
- Applications requiring a robust, bolted flange connection combined with the superior sealing and zero-clearance assembly of ORFS fittings at a 45-degree angle.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure the Code 61 flange head, its O-ring groove and O-ring, the mating port surface, the ORFS male end flat face and O-ring groove, and the mating female ORFS swivel face are all clean, undamaged, and free from contaminants.
- Verify O-rings are correct for the application and properly lubricated. Install the O-rings onto the ORFS male end and the flange head.
- Position the flange head against the mating Code 61 port face, orienting the elbow to the desired 45-degree angle. Place the split flange halves (or captive flange) behind the flange head. Insert bolts and tighten progressively and evenly in a diagonal pattern to the recommended torque.
- Connect the male ORFS end of the adapter to a mating female ORFS swivel fitting. Hand-tighten the swivel nut until faces meet, then tighten to the recommended torque using appropriate wrenches, backing up the adapter body.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS1703?
- Reliable 45° High-Pressure Connection: Combines the robust, bolted Code 61 flange seal with the superior O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) connection at a useful 45-degree angle.
