DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6412
SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male Straight Adapter
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6412 is a straight adapter engineered to provide a high-integrity connection between a male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or prepared tube end and a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This robust adapter features a female ORFS swivel nut with its distinctive flat sealing face on one end, and a male SAE ORB thread with an O-ring groove on the other. The O-Ring Face Seal connection is renowned for its exceptional leak protection in high-pressure and high-vibration hydraulic systems, and the ORFS swivel nut facilitates easy, stress-free installation. The SAE O-Ring Boss end also offers a superior seal. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for excellent corrosion resistance, the FS6412 adapter is ideal for reliably transitioning between these two advanced sealing technologies in demanding applications, conforming to SAE J1453 (ORFS) and SAE J1926 (ORB) standards.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Carbon Steel |
|---|---|
| End 1 Configuration | Female SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) Swivel Nut (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| End 2 Configuration | Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1) |
| Body Style | Straight Adapter with hexagonal (hex) features for secure wrench engagement. |
| Sealing Mechanism | ORFS Female Swivel End: Seals with the O-ring on a mating male ORFS fitting against its flat face. The swivel nut allows for easy alignment and tightening without twisting the connected hose or tube. ORB Male End: Utilizes an elastomeric O-ring (seated in the groove on the male ORB fitting) which seals against the chamfered boss of the mating female ORB port. |
| 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 ORFS fitting or prepared tube end to a female SAE ORB port, with the convenience of an ORFS swivel nut for ease of installation. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the adapter and application conditions. |
| O-Ring Material (for ORB male end) | Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request for specific fluid or temperature compatibility. The O-ring is supplied with the ORB male end of this adapter. (The mating male ORFS fitting will have its own O-ring). |

Applications
The Part FS6412 SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male Straight Adapter is ideal for:
- Connecting hydraulic lines or components with male ORFS ends to equipment or manifolds that have female SAE ORB ports.
- Integrating components utilizing ORFS technology (known for superior leak resistance in high vibration applications) with systems or components designed with ORB ports, ensuring a high-integrity connection.
- Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment (construction, agriculture), industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where a secure, high-pressure connection between these two different advanced sealing types is required, and the swivel feature aids in assembly.
- Facilitating system upgrades or repairs where components with these distinct port standards need to be interconnected in a straight line.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect the female ORFS swivel components, the male ORB threads and O-ring groove, and all mating surfaces (male ORFS flat face with O-ring, and female ORB port) to ensure they are clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
- Verify that the O-ring for the male ORB end of this adapter (FS6412) and the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting are the correct size and material for the application. Ensure O-rings are correctly lubricated with system-compatible fluid.
- Carefully install the lubricated O-ring onto the male ORB end of the adapter.
- Thread the male ORB end of the adapter into the mating female ORB port by hand until the O-ring makes contact and the shoulder seats. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque for the ORB size.
- Align the female ORFS swivel end of the adapter with the mating male ORFS fitting (which has its own O-ring). Hand-tighten the ORFS swivel nut until the flat faces make contact and the O-ring is engaged.
- Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the ORFS connection. While holding the adapter body stationary with a backup wrench, tighten the female ORFS swivel nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque value.
