Part Number: FS2603-SS

SAE ORFS Male Tee (Stainless Steel)

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part FS2603-SS is a high-integrity union tee designed to connect three female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fittings. This allows for either splitting a single fluid path into two or combining two paths into one. Forged from a single piece of 316-grade stainless steel, this tee provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring a reliable, leak-free junction point in high-pressure hydraulic systems operating in harsh or sanitary environments. All three ends are male ORFS, conforming to SAE J1453 standards.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS)
End Configurations (All 3 ends)	Male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (per SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3)
Body Style	Union Tee.
Sealing Mechanism	Seals via O-rings on all three male flat faces against the mating female ORFS flat faces.
Corrosion Protection	Superior inherent corrosion resistance from stainless steel.
Primary Function	To connect three female ORFS swivel fittings, creating a 90-degree branch to split or combine flow.
Working Pressure	Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications, with ratings determined by fitting size per SAE J1453.

Applications

The FS2603-SS Male Tee is a fundamental component for building complex hydraulic circuits in demanding industries:

Splitting a single hydraulic supply from a pump to power two separate actuators or sub-systems simultaneously.
Combining the return flow from two separate lines into a single return line to the reservoir.
Creating a T-junction to install a pressure sensor, gauge, or test point within a stainless steel ORFS hydraulic line.
Essential for constructing reliable, corrosion-resistant hydraulic systems in marine, chemical processing, offshore oil & gas, and food production applications.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Inspect all three male flat faces and O-ring grooves on the tee for any damage or debris.
Ensure the mating female ORFS swivels are clean and their sealing faces are smooth.
Install new, properly lubricated O-rings of the correct size and material onto all three male ends of the tee.
Connect the three female swivel fittings, tightening each nut until finger-tight.
Use a wrench to hold the tee body steady, then use another wrench to tighten each swivel nut to its specified torque value.

Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS2603-SS?

Consistent Sealing Performance: Provides the superior, leak-proof O-Ring Face Seal connection on all three ports for maximum system integrity.
