DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS2500-SS
SAE ORFS Male 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS2500-SS is a high-performance 90° elbow designed to connect two female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fittings at a right angle. Forged for maximum strength and manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this fitting provides a space-efficient directional change while ensuring a leak-proof seal. It is the perfect solution for routing hydraulic lines in corrosive or high-purity environments where the integrity of the ORFS connection system must be maintained around corners and obstacles.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS) |
|---|---|
| End 1 & 2 Configuration | Male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (per SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| Body Style | 90° Elbow Union. |
| Sealing Mechanism | Seals via O-rings on its male flat faces against the mating female ORFS flat faces. |
| Corrosion Protection | Excellent inherent corrosion resistance from stainless steel. |
| Primary Function | To connect two female ORFS swivel fittings of the same size and change the flow direction by 90 degrees. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications, with ratings determined by fitting size per SAE J1453. |

Applications
The FS2500-SS 90° Elbow is essential for cleanly routing hydraulic lines in demanding and space-constrained systems:
- Creating tight, right-angle turns in hydraulic circuits without kinking or stressing hose assemblies.
- Routing lines around structural components, along chassis frames, or within machinery housings in corrosive environments.
- Connecting hose assemblies to component ports at a 90-degree angle to minimize the profile and reduce the risk of snagging.
- Indispensable for plumbing in marine engine rooms, chemical processing skids, food production lines, and offshore equipment where both directional changes and stainless steel are required.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Inspect the O-ring grooves and flat sealing faces on both male ends of the elbow for cleanliness and damage.
- Ensure the mating female ORFS swivels are also clean and their sealing faces are free of defects.
- Place new, properly lubricated O-rings of the correct size and material onto the elbow's male ends.
- Position the elbow and thread both female swivel nuts onto the elbow until hand-tight.
- Hold the body of the elbow stationary with a wrench, then use a second wrench to tighten each swivel nut to its specified torque value.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS2500-SS?
- Space-Efficient Routing: Enables sharp, clean 90-degree turns, which is critical for compact and organized system plumbing.
- Reduces Hose Stress: Prevents the potential for damage and flow restriction that comes from bending a hose beyond its recommended radius.
- Uncompromised Sealing: Maintains the superior leak-proof integrity of the O-Ring Face Seal connection through the directional change.
- Maximum Durability: 316 stainless steel construction offers premier resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures.
- Forged for Strength: The forged body provides enhanced strength and resistance to mechanical stress compared to cast alternatives.
