Part Number: FS6804

SAE ORFS Male x SAE ORB Male Run Tee

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part FS6804 is a run tee adapter, expertly designed to integrate different high-performance hydraulic connection standards within a single, robust fitting. This tee typically features two male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) ends on the straight-through 'run' portion, and one male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) threaded end on the 90-degree branch. This configuration allows a primary fluid line utilizing ORFS connections (known for superior sealing in high vibration) to have an ORB branch take-off, suitable for connecting to components with female ORB ports like valves, sensors, or manifolds. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for excellent corrosion resistance, the FS6804 tee provides a reliable and leak-free solution for complex hydraulic plumbing, conforming to both SAE J1453 (ORFS) and SAE J1926 (ORB) standards.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
Run End 1 Configuration	Male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3)
Run End 2 Configuration	Male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) (conforming to SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3)
Branch End Configuration	Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1)
Body Style	Run Tee Adapter, typically forged for strength, with hexagonal (hex) features or flats for secure wrench engagement.
Sealing Mechanism	ORFS Ends (Run): Utilize elastomeric O-rings (seated in grooves on the male ORFS faces) which compress against the flat faces of mating female ORFS swivel fittings, creating a high-integrity static face seal. ORB End (Branch): 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 create a T-junction providing a male ORB branch connection from a main line that uses male ORFS connections on both run ends, thereby connecting to three female-ported components.
Working Pressure	Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings depend on the size of the fitting and the operational conditions.
O-Ring Material (for all male ends)	Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request for specific fluid or temperature compatibility. O-rings are supplied with all male ends.

Applications

The Part FS6804 SAE ORFS Male x SAE ORB Male Run Tee is ideal for:

Creating a robust ORB branch line from a main hydraulic line that utilizes high-integrity ORFS connections. This is particularly useful for adding components with ORB ports (like valves or sensors) to an ORFS system.
Integrating test points or auxiliary hydraulic circuits with ORB connections into a primary ORFS fluid path.
Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment (such as construction machinery, agricultural vehicles), industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where a combination of ORFS and ORB sealing technologies is required in a tee configuration for optimal performance and reliability.
Applications where the superior sealing of ORFS is desired for the main lines due to vibration or pressure impulses, with a secure ORB port for the branch.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Thoroughly inspect all male ORFS flat faces and O-ring grooves, the male ORB threads and O-ring groove, and all mating female port/fitting surfaces. Ensure all components are meticulously clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
Verify that the O-rings for all three male ends (two ORFS, one ORB) are the correct size and material for the application. Ensure all O-rings are correctly lubricated with a system-compatible fluid.
Carefully install the lubricated O-rings into the grooves on all three male ends of the tee.
Connect the male ORFS run ends of the tee to the mating female ORFS swivel fittings. Hand-tighten the swivel nuts until the flat faces make contact with the O-rings.
Orient the tee so the ORB branch faces the desired direction for the connecting line.
While holding the tee body stationary (using its hex or flats), tighten both female ORFS swivel nuts on the run ends to the manufacturer's recommended torque or FFWR specification.
Connect the male ORB branch end of the tee to a mating female ORB port. Hand-tighten until the O-ring makes contact and the shoulder seats, then tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque for the ORB size.
Always use appropriate backup wrenches on the tee body and mating components during tightening to prevent distortion or damage. For stainless steel versions (if applicable), using a thread lubricant or anti-seize compound is crucial to prevent galling.
