DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS2603-SS
SAE ORFS Male Tee (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS2603-SS is a high-integrity union tee designed to connect three female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fittings. This allows for either splitting a single fluid path into two or combining two paths into one. Forged from a single piece of 316-grade stainless steel, this tee provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring a reliable, leak-free junction point in high-pressure hydraulic systems operating in harsh or sanitary environments. All three ends are male ORFS, conforming to SAE J1453 standards.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS) |
|---|---|

Applications
The FS2603-SS Male Tee is a fundamental component for building complex hydraulic circuits in demanding industries:
- Splitting a single hydraulic supply from a pump to power two separate actuators or sub-systems simultaneously.
- Combining the return flow from two separate lines into a single return line to the reservoir.
- Creating a T-junction to install a pressure sensor, gauge, or test point within a stainless steel ORFS hydraulic line.
- Essential for constructing reliable, corrosion-resistant hydraulic systems in marine, chemical processing, offshore oil & gas, and food production applications.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Inspect all three male flat faces and O-ring grooves on the tee for any damage or debris.
- Ensure the mating female ORFS swivels are clean and their sealing faces are smooth.
- Install new, properly lubricated O-rings of the correct size and material onto all three male ends of the tee.
- Connect the three female swivel fittings, tightening each nut until finger-tight.
- Use a wrench to hold the tee body steady, then use another wrench to tighten each swivel nut to its specified torque value.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS2603-SS?
- Consistent Sealing Performance: Provides the superior, leak-proof O-Ring Face Seal connection on all three ports for maximum system integrity.
- Forged for Strength: One-piece forged construction offers greater strength and durability than welded or brazed tees, especially under high pressure and vibration.
- Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel construction is designed to withstand the most aggressive chemicals and corrosive environments.
- Simplifies Plumbing: Allows for clean and reliable T-junctions within a pure ORFS system without the need for additional adapters.
