Make Difficult Hydraulic Routing Easier
Straight connections are not always practical when hydraulic lines need to change direction. The FS2500 90° ORFS Union Elbow provides a clean 90-degree connection that helps route tubing and hydraulic lines where space or equipment layout requires a directional change.
Its elbow configuration can help reduce unnecessary bends in the hydraulic line while keeping the connection compact and properly aligned.
ORFS Face Seal for Reliable Connections
The FS2500 uses an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) connection designed for hydraulic applications where dependable sealing is important.
The ORFS design uses a flat sealing face with an O-ring to create the sealing interface. When the fitting is correctly sized, assembled, and aligned, this design provides a secure connection for demanding hydraulic service.
Designed for High-Pressure Applications
The FS2500 is intended for high-pressure hydraulic applications, with working pressures listed up to 6,000 PSI depending on tube and fitting size. The product page also identifies applications involving continuous mechanical shock.
For high-pressure installations, always match the fitting size and pressure capability with the complete hydraulic system and follow proper assembly procedures.
Steel Construction for Heavy-Duty Use
The FS2500 is offered in steel, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic equipment where strength and dependable performance are important.
From mobile machinery to industrial hydraulic systems, the fitting provides a robust connection point for applications where hydraulic lines need to turn 90 degrees without using unnecessary additional components.
