Make ORFS-to-Pipe Connections Easier
Hydraulic systems often combine different connection types, especially when equipment uses ORFS hydraulic lines alongside pipe-threaded ports. The FS2501 ORFS to Pipe Elbow provides a direct connection between these systems while changing the flow direction by 90 degrees.
Instead of forcing a hose or tube into an awkward position, the elbow helps create a cleaner routing path around equipment frames, valves, manifolds, and other components.
Male ORFS Connection for Reliable Sealing
The ORFS side uses a flat-face O-ring sealing design. The O-ring creates the primary sealing interface when the fitting is correctly assembled against the matching ORFS connection.
This makes the FS2501 suitable for hydraulic applications where leak prevention and connection reliability are important, particularly in systems exposed to pressure cycling and vibration.
Male Pipe Thread Connection
The second connection is a Male Pipe thread, allowing the FS2501 to connect ORFS hydraulic lines with compatible pipe-threaded ports and components.
Correct thread identification is important before installation. Make sure the pipe thread type and size match the mating port and follow the appropriate installation procedure for the connection being used.
90° Design for Better Hydraulic Routing
The biggest advantage of the FS2501 is its 90-degree elbow configuration.
It helps:
- Change hydraulic line direction
- Route lines around equipment components
- Reduce unnecessary hose bending
- Improve installation in confined areas
- Create more organized hydraulic assemblies
- Connect ORFS lines to pipe ports without using multiple fittings
This makes the FS2501 especially useful when a straight adapter would create poor routing or excessive space requirements.
Forged Carbon Steel Construction
The FS2501 is manufactured from forged carbon steel, providing the strength and durability expected in demanding hydraulic applications.
Its robust construction makes it suitable for mobile equipment, industrial machinery, construction hydraulics, agricultural equipment, and other fluid-power systems where fittings may experience vibration, pressure cycling, and mechanical loads.
