Part Number: FS6803-SS
SAE ORFS Male x SAE ORB Male Branch Tee (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6803-SS is a high-performance branch tee adapter forged from 316-grade stainless steel. It is designed to create a 90-degree branch in a hydraulic line while adapting between two different O-ring seal technologies. This fitting features two Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) ends on the straight-through run and one Male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end on the branch. It is the ideal solution for adding a leak-proof ORFS hose line between two ORB-ported components in corrosive or high-purity systems.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS) |
|---|---|
| End 1 & 2 (Run) | Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (per SAE J1926-1) |
| End 3 (Branch) | Male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (per SAE J1453) |
| Body Style | Branch Tee. |
| Sealing Mechanism | ORB Ends: O-ring on each fitting seals against the port's spotface. ORFS End: O-ring on flat face seals against a female swivel. |
| Primary Function | To create a 90-degree ORFS branch from a straight line that connects two female ORB ports. |

Applications
The FS6803-SS branch tee is a versatile solution for complex hydraulic plumbing:
- Adding an auxiliary circuit or component with an ORFS hose assembly in-line between two ORB-ported components (e.g., between a pump and a valve block).
- Creating a test point with a superior ORFS connection on a line that runs between two ORB ports.
- Perfect for building compact, corrosion-resistant hydraulic manifolds in marine, chemical, and food processing applications.
- Simplifies circuits by replacing a standard ORB tee and a separate ORB-to-ORFS adapter with a single, reliable fitting.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Inspect and lubricate the O-rings on all three male ends of the tee.
- Thread the male ORB run ends into their respective female ORB ports and tighten to the specified torque.
- With the tee installed, connect the female ORFS swivel nut to the male ORFS branch.
- Hold the tee body stationary with a wrench while tightening the ORFS connection to its recommended torque value.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS6803-SS?
- Versatile Junction: Creates a high-integrity ORFS branch from a line of ORB-ported components, seamlessly integrating two systems.
- Complete O-Ring Sealing: Utilizes premium O-ring sealing on all three ports (ORB and ORFS) for a virtually leak-proof junction.
- Reduces Components: A single forged fitting is more compact and reliable than an assembly of multiple adapters and a standard tee.
- Maximum Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel construction offers unmatched performance in harsh environments.
- Dual Standard Compliance: Engineered to meet both SAE J1926-1 (ORB) and SAE J1453 (ORFS) standards.
