Part Number: FS6809-SS
SAE ORFS Female Swivel x SAE ORB Male 90° Elbow (Stainless Steel)
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part FS6809-SS is a 90° adjustable elbow adapter designed to connect a male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fitting or tube end to a female SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) port. This fitting is expertly forged from 316-grade stainless steel and features a female ORFS swivel nut, which allows for easy, stress-free installation onto a fixed male ORFS end. It provides a compact, corrosion-resistant, right-angle connection between two different but highly reliable O-ring sealing systems.

Applications
The FS6809-SS elbow is a superior choice for creating clean, serviceable connections in tight spaces:
- Connecting a male-ended stainless steel tube line directly to a component's ORB port, with the swivel nut allowing for easy final tightening without rotating the tube.
- Ideal for routing lines at a sharp 90-degree angle from a pump, valve, or manifold in corrosive environments like marine or chemical processing.
- Eliminates the need for multiple fittings to achieve a right-angle connection between a male ORFS end and an ORB port, reducing leak points.
- The adjustable ORB end ensures the final orientation of the fitting is perfect for the connecting line's path.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Adjustable ORB End: Loosen the jam nut. Lubricate the O-ring and thread the male end into the port until the washer contacts the port face. Unscrew (max one turn) to align the elbow. Hold in position and tighten the jam nut to the specified torque.
- ORFS Swivel End: After the elbow is secured, inspect the O-ring on the mating male ORFS fitting. Bring the elbow's swivel nut to the male fitting and tighten to its recommended torque value.
