6901 O-Ring to NPTF Pipe Swivel Elbow 90° | Hydraulic Fittings
Description
The 6901 O-Ring to NPTF Pipe Swivel Elbow 90° is a versatile hydraulic fitting designed to transition from an O-Ring port connection to a NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) pipe swivel thread at a 90-degree angle.
Connection Description & Function
- End 1: O-Ring (face or port connection)
- End 2: NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) pipe swivel thread
- Angle: 90 degrees for directional fluid routing
- Swivel design allows easier alignment and threading
- Provides a secure connection between O-Ring hydraulic ports and threaded NPTF piping
Applications
This 6901 swivel elbow is commonly used in:
- Lubrication systems
- Instrumentation and control lines
- High-pressure hydraulic systems
- Industrial fluid transfer applications
- Mobile and construction hydraulics
- Systems requiring a 90° pipe orientation
Pressure Ratings
- Working pressure: Up to 5,000 PSI
- Actual working pressure varies based on:
- Fitting size
- Tube or hose size
- System design
Suitable for extreme-pressure applications at or above 5000 PSI when properly sized and installed
Key Features & Benefits
- Connects O-Ring port to NPTF pipe swivel threads
- 90° elbow design for directional fluid routing
- Swivel female end reduces installation stress
- Suitable for lubrication, instrumentation, and high-pressure hydraulics
- Provides reliable sealing and alignment flexibility
- Ideal for applications where space or direction change is required
Typical Use Cases
- Routing hydraulic fluid lines around obstacles
- Connecting instrumentation ports to pipe networks
- Systems requiring directional adaptability
- Industrial hydraulic cabinets and manifold connections
- Mobile equipment with space-constrained fluid runs
This elbow fitting combines reliable sealing with flexible orientation, making it ideal for applications requiring a change in fluid direction while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant joint.
