1238 series hydraulic adapter 90° elbow male SAE O-Ring x male JIC 37º -Configure your measurements

Adjustable ORB Elbow The Dixon 1238 Series is an essential adapter for modern machinery. Unlike tapered pipe threads (NPT) that rely on deformation to seal, this adapter uses the SAE ORB (O-Ring Boss) system. The O-ring end threads into the machine's port (pump, cylinder, or valve), achieving a tight seal by compressing the O-ring, not by thread friction.

Technical Advantages:

• Adjustable Design (Positionable): Allows the JIC outlet to be oriented in the exact required direction before tightening, facilitating hose routing in difficult spaces.

• Zero Port Leaks: The SAE ORB system is superior to NPT in resistance to vibration and pressure cycling, as the seal is made by the elastomer (O-Ring) and not the metal.

• JIC 37° Outlet: The other end offers a standard JIC cone for connecting any conventional hydraulic hose.

• High Strength: Made of carbon steel with zinc plating, supporting up to 5,000 PSI in most sizes.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Applications

• Hydraulic Pump Outlets: Most modern pumps (Gear Pumps) use ORB threaded ports.

• Valve Banks (Manifolds): For routing lines to cylinders at a clean 90-degree angle.

• Hydraulic Motors: Connecting drain or pressure lines.
