Part Number: FS6403-SS
SAE ORFS Male x 37° Male JIC Adapter (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6403-SS is a straight union adapter that connects a female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fitting to a female 37° JIC swivel fitting or flared tube. This adapter acts as a bridge between two different female-ended connections. Forged from high-grade 316 stainless steel, it provides a simple, reliable, one-piece solution for joining ORFS and JIC lines in corrosive, high-purity, or other demanding hydraulic systems.

Applications
The FS6403-SS adapter is a versatile connector for mixed-system plumbing:
- Joining an ORFS hose assembly directly to a JIC hose assembly to extend a hydraulic line.
- Transitioning from an ORFS-based system to JIC-based system components (or vice versa) in a straight run.
- A vital component for repairs or modifications in corrosive environments where both ORFS and JIC female connections need to be joined.
- Useful for creating inline test points between two different types of hose assemblies.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- ORFS End: Ensure the O-ring on the adapter's flat face is clean and lubricated. Connect the female ORFS swivel and tighten to its specified torque.
- JIC End: Inspect the 37° flare cone on the adapter for any damage. Connect the female JIC swivel nut and tighten using the appropriate torque or FFWR method.
- Use a wrench on the central hex of the adapter to hold it stationary while tightening the swivel nuts on either side, preventing transfer of torque.
