Midland Industries SS2502-16-16 90-deg Jic Nptf Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS2502-16-16 is a 90-degree female elbow hydraulic adapter designed to connect 1-inch male JIC (37-degree flare) fittings to 1-inch female NPTF pipe threads. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting is built for high-pressure fluid systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. It is rated to 2000 psi maximum operating pressure and is suitable for use at temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. Dimensional standards conform to ANSI B1.20.1. The fitting carries a 16 hose dash size designation and is commonly installed by industrial plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and mechanical contractors in demanding fluid transfer applications.

This adapter is suited for hydraulic lines, fluid power systems, and high-temperature industrial plumbing where a 90-degree directional change is required at the point of connection. The JIC male end provides a leak-resistant 37-degree flare seat, while the female NPTF thread delivers a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant in many installations. Typical applications include industrial machinery, marine systems, chemical processing equipment, and any environment where stainless steel resistance to corrosion and heat is necessary.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows directional routing in tight or confined plumbing configurations
• Rated to 2000 psi maximum operating pressure for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power service
• Rated for operating temperatures up to 1000 degrees F
• Conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 dimensional standards for reliable fit and interchangeability
• 16 hose dash size designation for straightforward line matching during assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit adapter for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a 1-inch male JIC to 1-inch female NPTF 90-degree elbow connection in the SS2502 series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed industrial plumber. Depressurize and fully drain the hydraulic or fluid system before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but inspect thread condition and apply appropriate thread sealant per system requirements and applicable codes. Do not overtighten; use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended assembly procedures for JIC flare connections to avoid seat damage.
