DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: FS6412-SS
SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male Straight Adapter (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6412-SS is a straight adapter designed to connect a male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or tube end to a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. It features a female ORFS swivel nut on one end and a male ORB thread on the other. The swivel nut simplifies installation by allowing the connection to be tightened without rotating the adapter body or the mating tube line. Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, this fitting is ideal for creating high-integrity connections in corrosive or sanitary hydraulic systems.

Applications
The FS6412-SS adapter is essential for connecting fixed tube lines or male-ended components to ORB ports:
- Connecting a rigid stainless steel tube assembly with a male ORFS end directly to the ORB port of a pump, valve, or cylinder.
- The swivel feature is critical for making the final connection without having to rotate the entire tube assembly.
- Used extensively in high-purity or corrosive systems in the marine, chemical, and food processing industries.
- Provides a direct, one-piece solution for adapting a male ORFS connection to a standard component port.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- ORB End: Inspect and lubricate the O-ring on the adapter's male ORB end. Thread into the female ORB port and tighten to the specified torque.
- ORFS End: With the adapter fixed in place, inspect the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting. Bring the adapter's female swivel nut to the male end and thread it on.
- Hold the adapter's hex body with one wrench and use another wrench to tighten the swivel nut to its recommended torque value.
