Midland Industries 4601NWO8 90 Degree Beaded Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 4601NWO8 is a 90-degree beaded hose elbow fitting designed for hydraulic plumbing and fluid-transfer applications. Part of the 4601 Series, it connects a 1/2-inch beaded stem on one end to a 1/2-inch male adjustable O-ring boss (ORB) on the other, with a 3/4-16 thread specification. The 90-degree angle allows routing hose runs in tight spaces where a straight fitting would not clear surrounding components. Constructed from steel, this fitting is suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits. It is typically installed by hydraulic technicians and equipment mechanics working on industrial or mobile hydraulic systems.

This fitting is applied in hydraulic systems requiring a hose-to-port transition with an adjustable O-ring boss connection. The beaded stem end retains a hose assembly with a crimp ferrule or clamp, while the male ORB end threads into a hydraulic component port, with the adjustable O-ring providing a leak-free, positional seal. Typical installation scenarios include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power circuits where directional hose routing and reliable sealing are required at connection points.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch beaded stem end accepts standard crimp or clamp-style hose assemblies
• 1/2-inch male adjustable O-ring boss (ORB) end with 3/4-16 thread for leak-free port connection
• Adjustable ORB design allows angular positioning of the fitting before final torque
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic pressure service
• Part of the 4601 Series Steel Beaded Hose Fittings product line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic fitting for systems using 1/2-inch beaded hose connections and 1/2-inch male adjustable O-ring boss ports with a 3/4-16 thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the O-ring for damage before assembly and apply a compatible hydraulic fluid or lubricant to the O-ring prior to threading. Torque the ORB fitting to the port per the equipment manufacturer's specifications and confirm the hose end is properly retained before returning the system to service.
