DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6809
SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6809 is a 90° adapter elbow engineered to provide a secure, right-angle connection between a male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or prepared tube end and a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This robust fitting features a female ORFS swivel nut with its characteristic flat sealing face on one end, and a male SAE ORB thread with an O-ring groove on the other, oriented at 90 degrees to each other. Both ORFS and ORB connections are renowned for their superior leak protection in high-pressure hydraulic systems, with the ORFS swivel end facilitating easy installation and alignment without twisting the mating component. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for excellent corrosion resistance, the FS6809 elbow is ideal for demanding applications requiring a reliable directional change and adaptation between these two advanced sealing technologies, conforming to SAE J1453 (ORFS) and SAE J1926 (ORB) 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 SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) (conforming to SAE J1926-1 / ISO 11926-1) |
| Angle | 90 Degrees |
| Body Style | Elbow Adapter, typically forged for strength, with hexagonal (hex) features or flats 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. ORB Male End: 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 provide a 90-degree, leak-proof connection from a male ORFS fitting or prepared tube end to a female SAE ORB port, with the convenience of an ORFS swivel nut for ease of installation. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems. Specific pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the adapter and application conditions. |
| O-Ring Material (for Male ORB end) | Typically Buna-N (Nitrile) 90 Durometer as standard. Viton® (FKM) or other materials available upon request. The O-ring is supplied with the male ORB end of this adapter. (The mating male ORFS fitting will have its own O-ring). |

Applications
The Part FS6809 SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow is ideal for:
- Connecting hydraulic lines or components with male ORFS ends to equipment or manifolds that have female SAE ORB ports, where a 90-degree change in line direction is required.
- Integrating components utilizing ORFS technology (known for superior leak resistance in high vibration applications) with systems or components designed with SAE ORB ports, facilitating an angled connection.
- Use in demanding hydraulic applications on mobile equipment (such as construction machinery, agricultural vehicles), industrial machinery, and manufacturing systems where a secure, high-pressure, angled connection between these two advanced fitting types is needed, and the swivel feature aids assembly.
- Optimizing hydraulic line routing in tight spaces or around obstructions, ensuring reliable, leak-free performance.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect the female ORFS swivel components, the male ORB threads and O-ring groove, and all mating surfaces (male ORFS flat face with O-ring, and female ORB port) to ensure they are clean, undamaged, and free from any contaminants.
- Verify that the O-ring for the male ORB end of this adapter (FS6809) and the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting are the correct size and material for the application. Ensure O-rings are correctly lubricated with system-compatible fluid.
- Carefully install the lubricated O-ring onto the male ORB end of the adapter.
- Thread the male ORB end of the adapter into the mating female ORB port by hand. Before fully tightening, orient the elbow to the desired 90-degree angle. Once oriented, tighten with a wrench to the recommended torque for the ORB size.
- Align the female ORFS swivel end of the adapter with the mating male ORFS fitting (which has its own O-ring). Hand-tighten the ORFS swivel nut until the flat faces make contact and the O-ring is engaged.
- Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the ORFS connection. While holding the elbow body stationary with a backup wrench, tighten the female ORFS swivel nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque value.
