DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6402
SAE ORFS Male x 37° JIC Female Swivel Adapter
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6402 is a straight adapter designed to connect a male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) port or fitting to a male JIC (37° flare) fitting or flared tube end. This adapter features a male ORFS end with its distinctive flat face and O-ring groove on one side, and a female JIC 37° swivel nut on the other. The ORFS connection offers superior leak protection, especially in high-pressure and high-vibration applications, while the JIC swivel end allows for easy installation and alignment without twisting the mating JIC component or hose. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the FS6402 adapter is ideal for reliably transitioning between these two popular hydraulic sealing technologies, conforming to SAE J1453 (ORFS) and SAE J514 (JIC) standards.
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 | Female 37° JIC Swivel Nut (conforming to SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2) |
| Body Style | Straight Adapter with hexagonal (hex) features for secure wrench engagement. |
| Sealing Mechanism | ORFS End: Utilizes an elastomeric O-ring (seated in the groove on the male ORFS face) which compresses against the flat face of the mating female ORFS swivel fitting, creating a high-integrity static face seal. JIC End: Achieves a metal-to-metal seal on the 37° cone seat located inside the female swivel end when connected to a mating male JIC 37° flare fitting or a correctly flared tube. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability and resistance to environmental corrosion. |
| Primary Function | To provide a straight, leak-proof connection from a male SAE ORFS fitting or port to a male JIC fitting or flared tube end, with the convenience of a JIC swivel nut. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the adapter and the application conditions. |
| O-Ring Material (for ORFS end) | Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request for specific fluid or temperature compatibility. O-ring is supplied with the ORFS end. |

Applications
The Part FS6402 SAE ORFS Male x JIC Female Swivel Adapter is ideal for:
- Connecting components or lines with male ORFS ports to hydraulic hoses or tubes terminated with male JIC 37° flare ends.
- Integrating ORFS technology, known for its superior leak resistance, into systems that also utilize reliable JIC flare connections.
- Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where a secure, high-pressure connection is required between these two common sealing types.
- Facilitating system upgrades or repairs where components with different port standards need to be interconnected, and the JIC swivel provides ease of alignment.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect the ORFS male flat face and O-ring groove, the JIC female swivel components, and all mating surfaces (female ORFS port for the ORFS end, and male JIC flare for the JIC end) to ensure they are clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
- Verify that the O-ring for the ORFS end is the correct size and material for the application's fluid, temperature, and pressure. Ensure the O-ring is correctly lubricated with a system-compatible fluid.
- Carefully install the lubricated O-ring into the groove on the ORFS male face of the adapter.
- Thread the male ORFS end of the adapter into the mating female ORFS port or fitting by hand until the flat faces make contact and the O-ring is engaged. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque for the ORFS size.
- Align the female JIC swivel end of the adapter with the mating male JIC fitting or flared tube end. Hand-tighten the JIC swivel nut.
- Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the JIC connection. While holding the adapter body stationary with a backup wrench, tighten the JIC swivel nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque value. No sealant is used on JIC flare connections.
