DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 2606-SS
37° JIC Male to NPTF Female Run Tee (316 Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 2606-SS is a specialized run tee adapter designed for hydraulic systems that require branching a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) component from a JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37° flare main line. This fitting distinctively features two male JIC 37° flare ends on the run (in-line portion) and one female NPTF pipe thread on the 90-degree branch. This configuration allows for the connection of two female JIC swivel fittings or flared tubes in a continuous run, while providing a female NPTF take-off point for connecting a male NPTF pipe or fitting. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for demanding environments, the Part 2606-SS tee ensures robust and leak-free connections in various industrial and mobile applications where mixed fitting types are present.

316 Stainless Steel for Corrosive Service
This 316 stainless steel 37° jic male to nptf female run tee provides the same JIC flow-path arrangement while adding corrosion resistance for branching hydraulic circuits in demanding environments. Confirm the port orientation, tube sizes, fluid compatibility, and pressure rating before installation.
Commonly Available Sizes (Part #2606-SS Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the 37° JIC Male to NPTF Female Run Tee in various common JIC and NPTF size combinations. Sizing is typically specified as JIC Run x JIC Run x NPTF Branch.
Examples include (Male JIC Run x Male JIC Run x Female NPTF Branch):
- 2606-04-04-02: 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/8" NPTF Female (Branch)
- 2606-04-04-04: 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" JIC (Run) x 1/4" NPTF Female (Branch)
- 2606-06-06-04: 3/8" JIC (Run) x 3/8" JIC (Run) x 1/4" NPTF Female (Branch)
- 2606-08-08-08: 1/2" JIC (Run) x 1/2" JIC (Run) x 1/2" NPTF Female (Branch)
Note: Always verify the specific JIC and NPTF sizes required for your application. For unlisted size combinations or reducing configurations on the run, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 2606-SS adapter tee is ideal for creating an NPTF branch from a JIC main line, connecting to a male NPTF component:
- Adding an NPTF-threaded component (like certain types of valves, sensors, or pipes with male NPTF ends) to a hydraulic system primarily using JIC connections on the run.
- Connecting JIC hoses or tubes in-line while branching off to a male NPTF fitting.
- Use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural implements requiring interfacing between JIC run lines and an NPTF branch connection.
- Custom hydraulic circuit design and fluid distribution where mixed thread types are necessary.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads and sealing surfaces (JIC male flares, mating JIC female seats, female NPTF branch threads, and mating male NPTF fitting threads) are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants.
- Connect the male JIC run ends to female JIC swivel nuts or flared tube assemblies. Ensure the 37° flare surfaces align correctly and tighten the JIC nuts to their recommended torque. No sealant is used on JIC connections.
- For the female NPTF branch end, thread it onto the mating male NPTF pipe or fitting. While NPTF provides a dry seal, applying a compatible thread sealant to the male NPTF threads is often recommended, especially if it's a standard NPT male or for high pressures. Tighten with a wrench to the recommended specification.
- Use backup wrenches on the tee body and mating components as needed to prevent distortion or damage, ensuring correct orientation of the branch.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 2606-SS?
- Versatile Branching Solution: Enables an NPTF female branch from a main line composed of JIC male connections.
- Reliable Sealing: Combines the robust metal-to-metal seal of JIC on the run with the tapered thread seal of NPTF on the branch.
- Facilitates System Integration: Ideal for hydraulic systems that require JIC run lines and an NPTF branch to a male component.
