2404-SS ORFS Male to Male NPT Pipe Connector – Stainless Steel
Description
The 2404-SS ORFS Male to Male NPT Pipe Connector collection includes precision-engineered 316 stainless steel hydraulic adapters that join a SAE O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) male end with a Male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded port.
Pressure Ratings
- Designed for high-pressure hydraulic applications
- ORFS flat-face O-ring seal provides robust sealing in vibration and shock environments
- NPT male threads require proper thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or compatible liquid sealant) for leak-proof performance
- Exact working pressure depends on fitting size and system design
Design & Material Overview
- Material: 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
- Shape: Straight male adapter with hex flats for secure wrench engagement
- Thread 1: SAE ORFS male — flat face seal with elastomer O-ring
- Thread 2: Male NPT pipe — tapered threads requiring sealant
- ORFS connection conforms to SAE J1453 standards, with an O-ring sealing face that compresses against a flat face swivel fitting or prepared tube end
- NPT connection conforms to ASME B1.20.1, providing tapered threads for pipe transitions
Industries & Use Cases
This collection serves multiple sectors requiring robust, leak-resistant adapters, including:
- Industrial hydraulic machinery
- Marine and offshore hydraulic systems
- Chemical processing and fluid transfer applications
- Manufacturing automation systems
- OEM hydraulic assemblies requiring corrosion resistance
Standards / Compliance
- ORFS male flat-face sealing per SAE J1453 / ISO 8434-3 standards
- NPT male pipe threads per ASME B1.20.1
- 316 stainless steel construction suitable for aggressive environments
ORFS flat-face connections are known for superior sealing with an elastomer O-ring, while NPT threads rely on tapered threads and sealant for fluid containment. These connectors provide a versatile solution where high-pressure ORFS components need to interface with traditional NPT pipe systems.
