Part Number: FS6802-SS
SAE ORFS Male x SAE ORB Male 45° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6802-SS is an adjustable 45° elbow adapter for connecting a female O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel to a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This fitting provides a gradual, 45-degree directional change, making it ideal for routing hoses around obstacles with better flow characteristics than a 90° elbow. Forged from 316-grade stainless steel, it offers a robust, corrosion-resistant connection that combines two superior O-ring sealing technologies for maximum reliability.

Applications
The FS6802-SS elbow is a superior choice for creating clean, efficient hydraulic routings:
- Connecting an ORFS hose assembly to an ORB port on a component where a gradual 45-degree turn is needed to avoid an obstacle or reduce hose strain.
- Offers a smoother flow path with less restriction than a 90° elbow, beneficial for some high-flow systems.
- Perfect for complex plumbing in corrosive marine, chemical, and food processing systems where precise alignment is key.
- The adjustable ORB end allows the final angle of the hose path to be set with precision.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- For the Adjustable ORB End: Loosen the jam nut and lubricate the O-ring. Thread the male end into the port until the backup washer lightly touches the port face.
- Unscrew the fitting (up to one full turn) to achieve the desired 45-degree orientation.
- Hold the elbow body in position and tighten the jam nut to the specified torque to secure the fitting and create the seal.
- For the ORFS End: With the elbow secured, connect the female ORFS swivel nut and tighten to its recommended torque.
Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part FS6802-SS?
