DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6504
SAE ORFS Female Swivel x 37° JIC Male Straight Adapter
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6504 is a straight adapter expertly designed to connect a male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or prepared tube end to a female JIC (37° flare) swivel fitting or flared tube. This high-quality adapter features a female ORFS swivel nut with its distinctive flat sealing face on one end, and a male JIC 37° flare on the other. The ORFS connection is renowned for its superior leak protection, especially in high-pressure and high-vibration applications, while the JIC connection provides a widely used and dependable metal-to-metal seal. The ORFS swivel nut facilitates easy alignment and tightening without twisting the mating male ORFS component. Manufactured from durable carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the FS6504 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 | Female SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) Swivel Nut (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| End 2 Configuration | Male 37° JIC Flare (conforming to SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2) |
| 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. JIC Male End: Achieves a metal-to-metal seal on its 37° flare cone when connected to a mating female JIC swivel fitting. |
| 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 JIC swivel fitting or flared tube, adapting between two different high-performance sealing types. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the adapter and the application conditions. |

Applications
The Part FS6504 SAE ORFS Female Swivel x JIC Male Straight Adapter is ideal for:
- Connecting hydraulic lines or components with male ORFS ends to those with female JIC swivel ends, providing a secure transition between these sealing technologies.
- Integrating components utilizing ORFS technology (known for its superior leak resistance in high vibration applications) into systems that also feature reliable JIC flare connections.
- Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment (such as construction machinery, agricultural vehicles), industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where a high-integrity, high-pressure connection between these two fitting types is necessary, and the ORFS swivel aids assembly.
- Facilitating system modifications, upgrades, or repairs where components with different but equally robust port standards need to be effectively interconnected.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect the female ORFS swivel components, the JIC male flare, and all mating surfaces (male ORFS flat face with O-ring, and female JIC cone seat) to ensure they are clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
- Verify that the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting is the correct size and material for the application. Ensure the O-ring is correctly lubricated.
- Align the female ORFS swivel end of the adapter with the mating male ORFS fitting. Hand-tighten the ORFS swivel nut until the flat faces make contact and the O-ring is engaged.
- Align the male JIC end of the adapter with the mating female JIC swivel fitting. Hand-tighten the JIC swivel nut until the flare surfaces make contact.
- Use appropriate wrenches to tighten both connections. While holding the adapter body stationary with a backup wrench, tighten the female ORFS swivel nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Similarly, tighten the female JIC swivel nut to its recommended torque. No thread sealant is used on JIC flare connections.
