Part Number: FS2701-SS
SAE ORFS Male Bulkhead 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS2701-SS is a 90° bulkhead elbow designed to pass a hydraulic line through a panel or wall while making a sharp, space-saving turn. This one-piece fitting, forged from 316-grade stainless steel, features male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) connections on both ends and includes a locknut for secure mounting. It is the perfect solution for creating a fixed, right-angle connection point in corrosive, sanitary, or high-purity hydraulic systems where both performance and durability are critical.

Applications
The FS2701-SS is invaluable for creating clean, professional, and space-efficient hydraulic routings:
- Routing a hydraulic line through a panel and making an immediate 90-degree turn to run parallel with the panel surface.
- Ideal for plumbing in control boxes, vehicle cabs, machine enclosures, and on marine vessels where space is at a premium.
- Provides a robust, fixed connection point that prevents hose kinking and chafing at the pass-through point.
- Essential for sanitary and corrosive environments in the food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Prepare a clean, correctly sized mounting hole in the panel or wall.
- Insert the bulkhead fitting through the hole and secure it tightly using the provided locknut. Use a wrench on the fitting body to prevent rotation.
- Ensure the O-rings on both male ends are clean, lubricated, and undamaged.
- Connect the female ORFS swivel fittings to both ends of the elbow.
- Tighten the swivel nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque for a secure, leak-free seal.
