DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2505-SS
37° JIC Male to NPTF Female Pipe 45° Elbow (316 Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2505-SS is a 45° adapter elbow designed to provide a secure, angular connection between a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare system and a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) threaded component. This fitting features a male JIC 37° flare on one end and a female NPTF pipe thread on the other, forming a 45-degree angle. It's commonly used to connect a female JIC swivel fitting (often on hydraulic hoses) or a flared tube to a male NPTF pipe or fitting where a gradual 45-degree directional change is necessary for optimal routing. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for demanding environments, the Part 2505-SS elbow ensures a reliable, leak-resistant transition.

316 Stainless Steel for Corrosive Service
The 316 stainless steel version of this 37° jic male to nptf female 45° elbow is intended for JIC circuits exposed to washdown, salt air, marine service, chemical splash, or persistent humidity. Its angled geometry is unchanged; select the dash size and pressure rating for the specific assembly.
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2505-SS Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the 37° Male JIC x NPTF Female Pipe 45° Elbow in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. Sizes are typically denoted by JIC dash numbers (or UNF thread size) and NPTF nominal pipe sizes.

- 2505-06-04: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 1/4" NPTF Female
- 2505-06-06: 3/8" (9/16-18) JIC Male x 3/8" NPTF Female
- 2505-08-08: 1/2" (3/4-16) JIC Male x 1/2" NPTF Female
- 2505-12-12: 3/4" (1-1/16-12) JIC Male x 3/4" NPTF Female
Note: Always verify the specific JIC and NPTF sizes required for your application. For unlisted size combinations, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2505-SS adapter elbow is useful for interfacing JIC systems with male NPTF components where a 45-degree turn is required:
- Connecting JIC hydraulic hoses or flared tubes to male NPTF-ended components, such as certain nipples or adapters, facilitating a smoother bend than a 90-degree elbow.
- Integrating equipment using JIC standards with systems that have male NPTF outlets requiring an angular connection.
- Common in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulics where precise routing and mixed fitting types are encountered.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces 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 needed for the JIC connection.
- For the female NPTF end, thread it onto the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting. While NPTF is designed for a dry seal, application of a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high-pressure applications. Tighten with a wrench, ensuring the elbow is correctly oriented at 45 degrees.
- Use backup wrenches on the elbow body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage during tightening.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 2505-SS?
- Precise 45° Adaptation: Provides a secure 45-degree transition between JIC 37° flare systems and male NPTF pipe/fitting ends.
- Dual Sealing Integrity: Combines the robust metal-to-metal seal of JIC with the tapered thread seal of NPTF.
- High-Pressure Performance: Suitable for demanding hydraulic applications.
- Optimized Flow Routing: Allows for gentler directional changes in hydraulic circuits.
