DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6602
SAE ORFS Swivel Nut Run Tee
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6602 is an SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) Swivel Nut Run Tee. This versatile steel fitting is designed to create a T-junction in a hydraulic line, typically featuring female ORFS swivel nuts on both ends of the straight-through 'run' portion and a male ORFS flat face end (with O-ring groove) on the 90-degree branch. This configuration allows for easy connection to three male ORFS fittings or prepared tube ends, with the dual swivel nuts on the run providing maximum flexibility for alignment and installation without imparting torsional stress on the connected lines. The ORFS connection system ensures superior leak protection, especially in high-pressure and high-vibration environments. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the FS6602 tee conforms to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3 standards.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Carbon Steel |
|---|---|
| Run End 1 Configuration | Female SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) Swivel Nut (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| Run End 2 Configuration | Female SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) Swivel Nut (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3) |
| Branch End Configuration | Typically Male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3). (Verify specific configuration if branch is female swivel) |
| Body Style | Run Tee Adapter, typically forged for strength, with hexagonal (hex) features or flats for wrench engagement. |
| Sealing Mechanism | Female ORFS Swivel Ends (Run): Seal with the O-ring on mating male ORFS fittings against their flat faces. The swivel nuts facilitate easy alignment and tightening. Branch End (Typically Male ORFS): Utilizes an elastomeric O-ring (seated in its groove) which compresses against the flat face of a mating female ORFS swivel fitting. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability and resistance to environmental corrosion. |
| Primary Function | To provide a T-junction connecting three ORFS lines, with female ORFS swivel nuts on the run for maximum installation flexibility, and typically a male ORFS connection on the branch. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems, often rated up to 6000 PSI or higher depending on the size and specific application. |
| O-Ring Material (for Male ORFS branch end if applicable) | Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request. O-ring is supplied if the branch is male. |
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #FS6602 Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the FS6602 SAE ORFS Swivel Nut Run Tee in various common ORFS size combinations. Sizes are typically specified as Run x Run x Branch.
Examples include (Female ORFS Swivel Run x Female ORFS Swivel Run x Male ORFS Branch - typical configuration):
- FS6602-04-04-04: -04 Female ORFS Sw x -04 Female ORFS Sw (Run) x -04 Male ORFS (Branch)
- FS6602-06-06-06: -06 Female ORFS Sw x -06 Female ORFS Sw (Run) x -06 Male ORFS (Branch)
- FS6602-08-08-08: -08 Female ORFS Sw x -08 Female ORFS Sw (Run) x -08 Male ORFS (Branch)
- FS6602-08-08-06: -08 Female ORFS Sw x -08 Female ORFS Sw (Run) x -06 Male ORFS (Branch) (Reducing Branch)
Note: This tee connects to male ORFS fittings on the run ends and typically a female ORFS swivel on the branch end. The male ORFS branch end (if so configured) will include an O-ring. Always confirm the exact configuration of all three ports.

Applications
The Part FS6602 SAE ORFS Swivel Nut Run Tee is ideal for:
- Creating a branch from a main hydraulic line where both run connections are made to male ORFS fittings or prepared tube ends, offering maximum alignment flexibility due to the dual swivel nuts.
- Adding test points, pressure gauges, sensors, or auxiliary hydraulic circuits with male ORFS connections to a system.
- Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where the superior sealing of ORFS and ease of assembly are critical.
- Situations where routing complexity or fixed component positions make the swivel feature on the run connections highly advantageous.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect all ORFS sealing faces and O-rings. Ensure all surfaces are clean, undamaged, and free from contaminants.
- Verify that the O-rings on the mating male ORFS fittings (for the run ends) and on the male ORFS branch of the tee (if applicable) are correctly sized, made of compatible material, and properly lubricated.
- Align the tee with the mating male ORFS fittings for the run connections. Hand-tighten the female ORFS swivel nuts on the run ends until the flat faces make contact with the O-rings.
- If the branch is male ORFS, ensure its O-ring is installed and lubricated. Connect the branch to a mating female ORFS swivel fitting and hand-tighten.
- Use appropriate wrenches. While holding the tee body stationary, tighten each swivel nut on the run to the manufacturer's recommended torque or FFWR specification. Similarly, tighten the connection on the branch.
- The swivel nuts allow each of the run connections to be oriented and tightened independently without affecting the branch orientation or vice-versa.
