Keep Mainline Flow While Adding a Connection
Unlike a simple branch arrangement, the FS2605 Run Tee is designed so the two ORFS connections remain on the main run while the third connection provides an additional outlet.
This makes it useful when a hydraulic circuit needs to maintain its primary flow path while connecting another hose, tube, valve, or hydraulic component.
The three-port design can simplify hydraulic layouts and reduce the need to combine multiple separate adapters.
Male ORFS × Male Pipe × Male ORFS Configuration
The FS2605 provides a combination of connection types in one fitting:
Male ORFS → Male Pipe/NPTF → Male ORFS
The two ORFS connections are suitable for compatible O-Ring Face Seal assemblies, while the pipe-threaded port allows connection to compatible NPTF components.
This makes the FS2605 a practical choice for hydraulic systems that use both ORFS and pipe-threaded connections.
ORFS O-Ring Face Seal Connection
The ORFS connections use an O-Ring Face Seal design intended to provide reliable sealing in hydraulic applications.
The O-ring sits at the sealing interface between compatible ORFS components, helping create a leak-resistant connection when the fitting is correctly sized and installed.
For installation, make sure the O-ring and sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged. Correct alignment and assembly are important for maintaining sealing performance.
Why Use a Run Tee?
A run tee is particularly useful when you need to add a connection without interrupting the primary hydraulic line.
The FS2605 can help:
- Maintain straight-through mainline routing
- Add an additional hydraulic connection
- Connect ORFS lines with a pipe-threaded component
- Simplify hydraulic circuit layouts
- Improve routing around machinery
- Reduce the number of individual adapters
- Create a compact three-way connection
Steel Construction for Heavy-Duty Use
The FS2605 ORFS to Pipe Run Tee is listed by Gear House Hydraulics with steel construction, providing a durable option for demanding hydraulic environments.
Steel construction makes this fitting suitable for equipment where hydraulic components may experience vibration, pressure cycling, mechanical shock, and demanding operating conditions.
High-Pressure Hydraulic Performance
Gear House Hydraulics lists working pressures up to 6,000 PSI, depending on tube and fitting size. The collection is also identified for applications involving continuous mechanical shock and extreme-pressure service at 5,000 PSI or above.
The complete hydraulic assembly must be properly sized and rated for the intended operating pressure. Always verify the fitting, tubing, hose, and connected components before installation.
Available Size
The Gear House FS2605 collection currently lists the FS2605-08-08-08 configuration, with a 1/2 × 1/2 size filter shown on the collection page.
Select the correct size according to the ORFS line and pipe connection used in your hydraulic system.

A Practical Solution for Hydraulic Line Distribution
The FS2605 is more than a basic tee fitting. Its run-tee configuration is designed for hydraulic systems where the main flow path needs to continue while another connection is added to the circuit.
By combining two ORFS connections with a pipe-threaded port, it gives installers a convenient way to integrate different hydraulic connection types into one assembly.
For equipment with limited installation space, this compact configuration can also help create a cleaner and more organized hydraulic layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FS2605 ORFS to Pipe Run Tee?
The FS2605 is a three-port hydraulic run tee designed to connect two Male ORFS connections with a Male Pipe/NPTF connection.
What is the difference between a run tee and a branch tee?
A run tee maintains the mainline connection through two ports while the third port provides an additional connection. This makes it useful when another hydraulic component needs to be connected to an existing flow path.
Does the FS2605 use ORFS sealing?
Yes. The ORFS connections use an O-Ring Face Seal design for hydraulic sealing.
What material is the FS2605 made from?
The Gear House Hydraulics collection lists steel as the material.
What pressure can FS2605 fittings handle?
Working pressure is listed up to 6,000 PSI, depending on tube and fitting size.
Is FS2605 suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems?
Yes. It is intended for high-pressure applications and is listed for applications involving continuous mechanical shock.
Where can FS2605 run tees be used?
They can be used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, mobile hydraulics, industrial fluid-power systems, hydraulic assemblies, pumps, valves, and other demanding equipment.
