DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2405-SS
37° Male JIC x Female NPTF Pipe Connector (316 Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2405-SS is a straight connector (adapter) designed to create a reliable bridge between JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare systems and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) threaded components. This versatile fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other. It is typically used to connect a female JIC swivel fitting (e.g., on a hydraulic hose) or a flared tube to a male NPTF threaded pipe or fitting. Manufactured from high-quality 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, the Part 2405-SS connector ensures a secure, leak-resistant transition in various hydraulic and industrial applications.

Applications
The Part 2405-SS connector is widely used for interfacing JIC flare systems with male NPTF components:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic hoses or flared tubes to male NPTF-ended components such as nipples, certain sensors, or other adapters.
- Integrating equipment using JIC standards with piping systems that terminate in male NPTF threads.
- Common in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial hydraulics, and general fluid power applications requiring a transition between these fitting types.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flare, mating JIC female seat, female NPTF threads, and mating male NPTF threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC end of the adapter to the female JIC swivel nut. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly. Tighten the JIC nut to the recommended torque. No sealant is used on JIC flare connections.
- For the female NPTF end, thread it onto the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting. While NPTF provides a dry seal, it is often recommended to use a compatible thread sealant (PTFE tape or paste) on the male NPTF threads, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high pressures, to ensure a leak-proof connection. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended specification.
- Use backup wrenches on the adapter body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage during tightening.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 2405-SS?
- Reliable JIC to NPTF Adaptation: Provides a secure and leak-resistant transition between female JIC swivel/tube ends and male NPTF pipe/fitting ends.
- Dual Sealing Integrity: Utilizes the robust metal-to-metal seal of JIC and the tapered thread seal of NPTF.
- Versatile Application: A key component for integrating different thread types in a wide range of hydraulic systems.
