Connect, Split, and Direct Hydraulic Flow
When a hydraulic circuit needs an additional branch, the FS2601 Branch Tee provides a compact connection point for distributing fluid between multiple lines.
Instead of combining several adapters to create a branch, this tee fitting provides the required connection arrangement in one component. That can help keep hydraulic assemblies more organized while making installation and maintenance more practical.
ORFS Connection for Dependable Hydraulic Sealing
The ORFS side uses an O-Ring Face Seal configuration designed for hydraulic applications where reliable sealing is important.
The flat-face sealing arrangement uses an O-ring at the connection interface. Proper sizing, alignment, and installation are important to achieve dependable sealing performance and reduce the risk of hydraulic leakage.
ORFS to Pipe Connection
The FS2601 is designed to bridge ORFS hydraulic connections and pipe-threaded connections, making it useful for hydraulic systems that incorporate different connection types.
This makes the fitting particularly practical for equipment where hydraulic hoses or tube assemblies need to connect with pipe-threaded components such as valves, manifolds, pumps, or other hydraulic equipment.
Branch Tee Design for Flexible Routing
The tee configuration gives the FS2601 an important advantage when hydraulic flow needs to be divided or redirected.
It can help with:
- Creating an additional hydraulic branch
- Distributing fluid between connected lines
- Connecting ORFS lines to pipe-threaded components
- Simplifying hydraulic routing
- Reducing the number of individual adapters required
- Building more compact hydraulic assemblies
- Connecting multiple hydraulic components within limited installation space
Steel Construction for Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Systems
The FS2601 collection is listed with steel construction, providing a strong fitting option for demanding hydraulic environments.
Its robust configuration is suitable for mobile and industrial equipment where hydraulic fittings can be exposed to vibration, pressure cycling, and mechanical shock.
