The FS2404 is a straight male adapter that allows transition between an ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal) connection and an NPTF thread. It is considered one of the most reliable connectors for eliminating leaks in high-pressure and high-vibration systems.
Design Features
-
End 1 (Flat Face): Male ORFS. Features a completely flat face with a machined groove where an elastomeric seal (O-Ring) is housed.
-
End 2 (Tapered Thread): Male NPTF (Dryseal).
-
Sealing Mechanism: Sealing occurs when the flat face of this adapter compresses against the flat face of a hose or female connection, trapping the O-Ring. The seal is elastomeric, not mechanical.
- Material: High-strength carbon steel (standard) or 316 Stainless Steel.
Applications
-
Heavy Machinery (OEM): This is the modern standard in excavators, loaders, and tractors (Caterpillar, John Deere, Case) for their high-pressure systems (6,000 PSI).
-
High Vibration Equipment: Ideal for hydraulic hammers, vibratory compactors, and agricultural machinery, where metal-to-metal threads often loosen or leak.
-
"Confined Space" Systems: Thanks to its flat face design (Slip-Fit), it is used in valve blocks and compact engines where there is no space to bend pipes during installation.
-
"Zero Leakage" Industries: Applications in mining, plastic molding plants, and industrial presses where oil spills pose a critical fire or safety risk.
-
Transportation and Logistics: Braking and steering systems for heavy-duty trucks and underground mining equipment.
