Applications
The FS6500-SS swivel elbow is a key component for efficient and reliable hydraulic plumbing:
- Connecting a male-ended hose assembly to a fixed male port on a component at a right angle, where the swivel nut allows for easy orientation and tightening.
- Creating tight 90-degree turns between two male-ended stainless steel tube lines.
- Ideal for compact routing in corrosive environments like marine engine rooms, chemical plants, and food processing lines.
- Acts as a compact right-angle union for two male ORFS connections, reducing the need for extra fittings.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure the O-rings on the elbow's male end and the mating male fitting are clean, lubricated, and undamaged.
- Connect the corresponding female swivel nuts to both male ends until finger-tight.
- Hold the body of the FS6500-SS elbow with a wrench to prevent it from rotating.
- Use a second wrench to tighten the female swivel nut that connects to the elbow's male end.
- Use a third wrench to tighten the elbow's own female swivel nut onto the other male fitting. Tighten both connections to the recommended torque.
