The 6807 ORB Adjustable Union Elbow 90° is designed to connect two Male SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) ports while providing the installation flexibility needed for accurate hydraulic line positioning. Its adjustable union design allows the elbow to be oriented during installation before final tightening, making it a practical choice for systems where port alignment and routing space are critical.
The 90° configuration changes the direction of the hydraulic connection without forcing the hose or tube into an unnecessary bend. This makes the 6807 especially useful around pumps, valves, cylinders, manifolds, and other equipment with restricted installation space.
Adjustable Design for Easier Installation
The main advantage of the 6807 adjustable union elbow is its ability to be positioned during installation.
A fixed 90° elbow has a predetermined orientation. An adjustable union design gives the installer more control over the final direction of the connected line.
This can be particularly useful when:
- Hydraulic ports are not perfectly aligned
- Hose routing needs a specific direction
- Installation space is limited
- Components are positioned close together
- A cleaner hydraulic layout is required
- Hose or tube positioning needs to be adjusted before final tightening
This flexibility can save time during installation and help create a more organized hydraulic assembly.
Male ORB x Male ORB Connection
The 6807 uses a Male ORB x Male ORB connection configuration.
Both ends are designed around the SAE O-Ring Boss sealing system, making the fitting suitable for compatible ORB hydraulic ports. The O-ring provides the sealing interface while the threaded connection secures the fitting to the mating component.
Connection Breakdown
- Connection 1: Male SAE ORB
- Connection 2: Male SAE ORB
- Configuration: 90° adjustable union elbow
- Sealing: O-Ring Boss
- Material: Steel
The dual-ORB configuration makes the 6807 useful when both connected hydraulic components use ORB ports.
90° Routing Without Unnecessary Hose Bends
Hydraulic hoses need proper routing to avoid excessive bending, interference, and installation problems.
The 6807 provides the required 90° directional change directly at the fitting. Instead of forcing the hose to make a tight turn immediately after the port, the elbow establishes the direction before the hose continues through the assembly.
This can help with:
- Cleaner hose routing
- Better component clearance
- Reduced routing complications
- More organized hydraulic installations
- Improved access around hydraulic components
Steel Construction for Hydraulic Applications
Gear House Hydraulics lists the 6807 with steel construction, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic environments where fitting strength and reliable connection performance are important.
Comparable 6807 specifications from Titan Fittings identify the fitting as forged carbon steel with trivalent zinc plating, with NBR (Buna-N) as the standard O-ring material and Viton available upon request.
This construction provides a practical combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance for hydraulic equipment.

ORB O-Ring Sealing
The O-Ring Boss connection uses an elastomeric O-ring as the primary sealing element. When correctly installed, the O-ring creates the sealing interface between the fitting and compatible ORB port.
Proper installation matters. Before assembly, inspect the O-ring and sealing surfaces for cuts, contamination, or damage.
Do not select an ORB fitting based only on nominal thread appearance. Confirm the correct ORB size and mating port before installation.
Compact Solution for Tight Hydraulic Layouts
Hydraulic equipment often has limited space around ports. Pumps, valve blocks, cylinders, frames, and manifolds can all create routing restrictions.
The 6807 combines the 90° direction change and adjustable union function into one fitting.
This can reduce the need to stack multiple adapters simply to achieve the required orientation.
6807 vs. Fixed 90° Routing
The 6807 is especially useful when the final orientation needs to be adjusted during installation.
A fixed elbow provides one predetermined direction. The adjustable union design provides additional positioning flexibility before the connection is fully secured.
For hydraulic assemblies where exact hose orientation matters, this can make installation easier and help achieve a cleaner final layout.
Selecting the Correct 6807
Before purchasing a 6807, verify the following:
ORB Size:
Confirm both Male ORB connection sizes match the mating hydraulic ports.
Elbow Configuration:
The 6807 provides a 90° directional change.
Adjustability:
Make sure an adjustable union configuration is appropriate for your installation requirements.
Material:
The Gear House collection lists the fitting as steel.
System Requirements:
Check pressure, temperature, hydraulic fluid compatibility, and the ratings of the complete assembly.
