DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS2650-SS
SAE ORFS Male Cross (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS2650-SS is a four-way cross fitting designed for complex hydraulic junctions. Forged from high-grade 316 stainless steel, this fitting connects four female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fittings at 90-degree angles. It provides a single, robust component for distributing or combining fluid flows while maintaining the exceptional leak-proof performance of the ORFS system. Its corrosion-resistant construction makes it essential for intricate plumbing in harsh environmental or sanitary applications.

Applications
The FS2650-SS cross fitting is ideal for creating central junction points in sophisticated hydraulic circuits:
- Distributing fluid from a single source to three different locations or actuators.
- Combining flows from multiple lines into a single path.
- Building compact, organized manifolds and control panels in stainless steel hydraulic systems.
- Essential for complex plumbing in corrosive environments such as marine, chemical processing, and offshore industries, where reliability and material integrity are paramount.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Thoroughly inspect the flat faces and O-ring grooves on all four ends of the cross fitting for any defects or contaminants.
- Install new, properly lubricated O-rings of the correct size and material onto each of the four male ends.
- Connect the four female ORFS swivel fittings, ensuring they are not cross-threaded, and tighten until finger-tight.
- Hold the body of the cross fitting stationary with a wrench while tightening each of the four swivel nuts to its specified torque value.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS2650-SS?
- Complex Junction Solution: Provides a single, integrated fitting for a four-way intersection, simplifying design and reducing the number of components.
- Consistent Leak-Proof Seal: Guarantees the high-integrity O-Ring Face Seal connection on all four ports, which is critical for system reliability.
- Forged for Maximum Strength: The one-piece forged body offers superior resistance to high pressure and system vibration compared to fabricated crosses.
- Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel construction ensures long-term performance in the most severe operating conditions.
- Reduces Leak Paths: By replacing multiple tees and elbows, the FS2650-SS minimizes the number of potential leak points in a circuit.
