2500 JIC Union Elbow 90°

2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° for Changing Hydraulic Line Direction

The 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° is designed to join two compatible 37° JIC hydraulic connections while changing the direction of the line by 90 degrees. Unlike a straight union, this fitting is used when the hydraulic assembly needs to turn a corner rather than continue in a direct line.

This makes the 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° particularly useful when routing hydraulic lines around equipment, structural components, or limited installation areas. Both ends use compatible JIC connections, allowing the fitting to serve as a union while also changing the path of the hydraulic line.

When a 90° JIC Elbow Makes More Sense

Hydraulic lines do not always have the space to continue in a straight direction. In these situations, the 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° provides a practical way to connect compatible JIC components while redirecting the hydraulic line.

The 90-degree configuration can help simplify line routing where a straight union would require additional space or another fitting to change direction. Instead of combining multiple components to achieve a turn, a dedicated elbow can provide the required directional change within a single fitting.

The collection includes different size combinations, so the required connection size should be checked on both ends before selecting the appropriate 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90°.

Two Male JIC Connections in One Elbow

The 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° uses male JIC connections on both ends. These connections are designed for compatible female JIC components using the 37° flare fitting system.

Because both sides of the fitting are part of the JIC connection system, customers need to confirm the required size at each end. Some applications require the same size on both sides, while other hydraulic assemblies may require a specific size combination.

Correct sizing is just as important as identifying the fitting type. A 90° elbow with the right general connection style may still be unsuitable if the size requirements do not match the existing hydraulic assembly.

Built for Demanding Hydraulic Equipment

The 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° is suitable for machine tools, agricultural machinery, earth-moving equipment, instrumentation, chemical processing systems, and other high-pressure hydraulic applications.

Its purpose is not simply to connect two fittings. The elbow configuration also helps manage how hydraulic lines move through the equipment. This can be important in assemblies where routing around components is necessary.

The fitting may be used when building a new hydraulic system, replacing an existing elbow, modifying line routing, or servicing equipment with compatible JIC connections.

Pressure and Material Considerations

The 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° is listed for working pressures up to 5000 PSI, with the actual working pressure depending on the tube and fitting size used in the application.

Material options include steel, with listed steel materials of Bar Stock 12L14, 1045, and Cold Formed 1010. Stainless Steel Type 316 is also listed as a material option. Clear Zinc Trivalent plating and passivation are included in the product information.

For high-pressure applications, the fitting should be selected as part of the complete hydraulic assembly. Tube size, fitting size, connection type, and system requirements should all be reviewed together.

Choosing the Correct 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90°

Start by identifying the two connections that need to be joined and confirming that both use compatible 37° JIC fittings. Next, check the required size for each end and verify that a 90-degree directional change is appropriate for the hydraulic line.

The 2500 JIC Union Elbow 90° is a focused solution for applications where joining two JIC connections and changing line direction are required at the same point.
