What is ORFS fitting?
O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings are tube-style thread fittings used to prevent leaks where two tubes or pipes connect. Because of ORFS fittings’ reputation as a top-sealing solution in high-pressure applications, it is used widely across environments that experience intense vibrations.
What does ORFS stand for in hydraulics?
o-ring face seal fitting
o-ring face seal fitting (orfs) O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings are a highly popular and reliable choice in hydraulic and tube connections. Well designed ORFS connections provide a seal that is highly reliable due to its elastomeric seal and is one of the best choices for a leak-free connection.
Is SAE O-ring boss?
ORB, or (SAE Straight Thread O-ring Boss) fittings, incorporate a port connection as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) for leak prevention in medium and high pressure hydraulic systems.
What thread is O-ring boss?
SAE Straight Thread O-ring or O-Ring Boss (ORB) is a multipurpose thread ideal for medium and high-pressure hydraulic applications. The male thread contains an o-ring at the base which mates with a chamfer machined into the female counterpoint, which makes this thread type ideal for non-leak applications.
How are ORFS fittings measured?
ORFS fittings come in straight threads with the outer diameter defined in-dash sizes and the pitch (the distance between each thread, measured in threads per inch or TPI) defined by the UTS (Unified Thread Standard). For example, a -9 –18 ORFS fitting has an outer diameter of 9/16” and 18 threads per inch.
What is a flat face O ring?
Flat Face Fitting The O-ring nests in a special groove machined in the face of the fitting body. When the Flat Face of the sleeve or tube is brought into contact with the face of the fitting and the nut is tightened, the O-ring is compressed and a seal is achieved.
Is ORFS metric?
Our metric hydraulic hose fittings are made to top quality standards which meet or exceed global standards such as SAE and ISO. Our metric fittings are supplied in one of two body styles, brazed or f… Our hydraulic adapters are made to top quality standards which meet or exceed global standards such as SAE and ISO.

What thread is JIC?
JIC – Joint Industry Council Thread – SAE JIC 37° Commonly referred to as just JIC fittings these metal to metal sealing type fittings have a 37° flare (sealing surface angle) and straight United National Fine straight Threads (UNF).
Is orb and NPT the same thread?
AN vs NPT vs ORB – what’s the difference? NPT (national pipe thread) means it seals via a tapered end and requires thread sealant. An ORB (O-Ring Boss) fitting has straight threads and uses an O-ring to seal.
What is the difference between JIC and NPT?
JIC fittings is absolute different seal, not interchangeable. JIC hydraulic fittings is used in high pressure system, NPT fittings is used in low-pressure system. NPT pipe threads have always been popular, as leaks can be fixed by simply tightening the fitting.
