Part Number: FS6600-SS
SAE ORFS Swivel Nut Branch Tee (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6600-SS is a specialized branch tee forged from 316-grade stainless steel. It features two male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) ends on the straight-through run and a female ORFS swivel nut on the 90-degree branch. This configuration is expertly designed for tapping into a main hydraulic line to add a male-ended component or tube assembly. The swivel nut on the branch provides significant installation flexibility, making it a superior choice for complex plumbing in corrosive or sanitary systems.

Applications
The unique configuration of the FS6600-SS makes it highly useful in specific hydraulic circuits:
- Adding a male-ended component such as a pressure sensor, transducer, or test point to a main hydraulic line.
- Tapping into a supply line to feed a sub-circuit that begins with a rigid tube assembly with a male ORFS end.
- The female swivel branch is ideal for connecting a fixed male component without needing to rotate it, simplifying installation and maintenance.
- Essential for building complex, corrosion-resistant manifolds and circuits in the marine, chemical, and food processing industries.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Connect the two female ORFS swivel fittings of the main line to the male run ends of the tee, tightening to the specified torque.
- Ensure the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting for the branch is clean, lubricated, and undamaged.
- Thread the tee's female swivel branch onto the male fitting and tighten to its recommended torque value.
- Use wrenches to hold the tee body and mating fittings stationary during tightening to prevent stress on the assembly.
