Part Number: FS6402-SS
SAE ORFS Male x 37° Female JIC Swivel Adapter (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6402-SS is a highly versatile straight adapter for integrating different hydraulic sealing systems. It is designed to connect a male 37° JIC flared fitting or tube end to a female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel connection. Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this adapter provides a robust, corrosion-resistant bridge between the widely-used JIC system and the superior, leak-proof ORFS system, making it essential for upgrades and mixed-system applications in demanding environments.

Applications
The FS6402-SS adapter is a key problem-solver in mixed-fitting systems:
- Upgrading a male JIC connection point on a manifold or component to accept a modern, leak-proof ORFS hose assembly.
- Connecting a new ORFS component into an existing hydraulic system that is predominantly plumbed with JIC fittings.
- Indispensable for maintenance and repair in marine, chemical, and food processing industries where both JIC and ORFS systems are present.
- Provides a simple, one-piece solution that is more reliable than using multiple adapters to bridge the two connection types.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- JIC End: Inspect the 37° sealing cone of the male JIC fitting for any damage. Thread the adapter's female JIC swivel nut onto the male JIC fitting and tighten to the specified torque or FFWR method.
- ORFS End: Ensure the O-ring on the adapter's flat face is clean, lubricated, and undamaged. Connect the mating female ORFS swivel.
- Use a wrench on the adapter's hex body to hold it stationary while tightening both swivel nuts to prevent stress on the connections.
