DELPHI FITTINGS
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6504 is a straight adapter expertly designed to connect a male SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or prepared tube end to a female JIC (37° flare) swivel fitting or flared tube. This high-quality adapter features a female ORFS swivel nut with its distinctive flat sealing face on one end, and a male JIC 37° flare on the other. The ORFS connection is renowned for its superior leak protection, especially in high-pressure and high-vibration applications, while the JIC connection provides a widely used and dependable metal-to-metal seal. The ORFS swivel nut facilitates easy alignment and tightening without twisting the mating male ORFS component. Manufactured from durable carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the FS6504 adapter is ideal for reliably transitioning between these two popular hydraulic sealing technologies, conforming to SAE J1453 (ORFS) and SAE J514 (JIC) 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 37° JIC Flare (conforming to SAE J514 / ISO 8434-2) |
| Body Style | Straight Adapter with hexagonal (hex) features 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. JIC Male End: Achieves a metal-to-metal seal on its 37° flare cone when connected to a mating female JIC swivel fitting. |
| Primary Function | To provide a straight, leak-proof connection from a male ORFS fitting or prepared tube end to a female JIC swivel fitting or flared tube, adapting between two different high-performance sealing types. |
| Plating & Finish | Cr3+ Trivalent Zinc Clear (ASTM B117 salt spray tested) |
| Reference Standard | SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3 (O-Ring Face Seal Standard) |

Specific Applications & Hydraulic Circuit Routing
Part FS6504 fittings provide reliable fluid power conveyance in demanding mobile and stationary equipment circuits:
- High-Vibration Mobile Equipment: Excavator booms, mining equipment, and hydrostatic drives where Part FS6504 prevents hydraulic weeping under intense shock loads.
- Zero-Clearance Manifold Assembly: Flat face design allows slip-in component replacement without springing or spreading rigid hydraulic tubes.
- Extreme Pressure Impulse Circuits: Elastomeric face seal remains 100% leak-free throughout repetitive thermal cycles and impulse spikes.
Installation & Assembly Guidance
- O-Ring Retention Inspection: Inspect the machined face groove to ensure the O-ring is properly seated and retained prior to mating.
- Face-to-Face Alignment: Bring the flat faces into parallel contact before hand-threading the swivel nut to avoid pinching the O-ring.
- Calibrated Torque Tightening: Tighten the nut to the specified SAE J1453 torque value using a calibrated torque wrench.
- Dual-Wrench Counter-Torque: Always hold the fitting body hex with a backup wrench while torquing the connection to prevent twisting.
