2502 JIC to Pipe Elbow 90° | Hydraulic Adapter Fittings
Description
The 2502 JIC to Pipe Elbow 90° series is a precision-machined hydraulic adapter designed to connect JIC 37° flare tubing to pipe thread connections at a 90° angle. This elbow configuration is engineered to provide a compact, directional fluid path that maintains system pressure and performance in demanding hydraulic environments.
Applications
2502 JIC to Pipe Elbow 90° fittings are commonly used in:
- Machine tools and industrial equipment
- Agricultural and earth-moving machinery
- Instrumentation and control fluid systems
- Chemical processing and fluid transfer systems
- High-pressure hydraulic circuits
This elbow design offers a reliable solution for routing fluid under pressure while minimizing space requirements and maintaining optimal fluid dynamics.
Pressure Ratings
- Working pressure: Up to 5,000 PSI
- Actual working pressure varies with:
- Tube or hose size
- Fitting size
- System conditions
- For extreme pressures (5000 PSI and above), contact Gear House Hydraulics or the fitting manufacturer for guidance on suitability.
Material Specifications
Carbon Steel (Standard)
- Bar Stock:
- 12L14
- 1045
- Cold Formed:
- 1010
Stainless Steel (Optional)
- Type 316
Each 2502 elbow fitting is manufactured in either carbon steel or stainless steel depending on the selected variant and application needs.
Plating & Surface Protection
- Clear Zinc Trivalent plating
- Passivated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Designed to withstand demanding industrial and mobile environments
Key Features & Benefits
- 90° directional fluid path
- Connects JIC 37° flare to pipe thread systems
- High-pressure capable up to 5000 PSI
- Durable steel and stainless steel options
- Corrosion resistant plating for extended service life
- Precision machining for consistent sealing and fit
Typical Use Cases
- Redirecting hydraulic fluid lines around structural components
- Installing hydraulic manifolds where space is limited
- Routing connections in instrument panels
- Mobile equipment requiring clean, compact directional changes
- Industrial hydraulic assemblies requiring robust elbow adapters
Installation Notes
- Confirm correct JIC and pipe thread sizes before assembly
- Apply appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or compound) on pipe threads if required
- Tighten with proper hydraulic tools and torque settings to achieve a leak-free joint
- Orient elbow direction before final torque to ensure optimal routing
These fittings are ideal for applications where fluid lines require a right-angle turn without sacrificing strength, sealing integrity, or flow efficiency.
