DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS2702-SS
SAE ORFS Male Bulkhead 45° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS2702-SS is a 45° bulkhead elbow for creating a secure, panel-mounted hydraulic connection with a gradual change in direction. This one-piece fitting is forged from 316-grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and features male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) ends and a bulkhead locknut. It is designed to pass a hydraulic line through a barrier and make an immediate 45-degree turn, which is ideal for efficient routing around obstacles in corrosive or sanitary applications.

Applications
The FS2702-SS elbow is a perfect choice for clean and efficient hydraulic plumbing in challenging systems:
- Routing hydraulic lines through panels or brackets where a gradual 45-degree turn is needed to avoid obstructions.
- Providing a smoother flow path than a 90° elbow, which can reduce pressure drop in certain high-flow applications.
- Creating secure, fixed connection points in marine, chemical, and food processing applications that require both corrosion resistance and precise routing.
- Simplifies plumbing by combining a bulkhead pass-through and a 45-degree elbow into one robust component.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Prepare a clean, correctly sized mounting hole in the panel.
- Insert the bulkhead fitting and secure it firmly with the locknut, using a wrench to prevent the body from turning.
- Ensure O-rings are installed on both male ends, lubricated, and free of defects.
- Connect the mating female ORFS swivel fittings to both ends of the elbow.
- Tighten the swivel nuts to the specified torque for a secure, leak-free connection.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS2702-SS?
- Efficient Routing: The 45-degree angle provides a gradual turn, optimizing flow and offering versatile routing solutions.
- Secure Panel Mounting: Establishes a rigid pass-through point, protecting lines from stress and vibration.
- Leak-Proof ORFS Seal: Guarantees the high-integrity O-Ring Face Seal on both sides of the panel.
- Ultimate Corrosion Resistance: Forged from 316 stainless steel for maximum longevity in harsh environments.
- Reduces Components: A single fitting does the job of multiple adapters, simplifying the system and reducing potential leak points.
