Midland Industries SS43-04-04FJ45 45-deg Swivel Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS43-04-04FJ45 is a 45-degree swivel elbow fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer hose assemblies. It connects a 1/4-inch crimp hose end to a 1/4-inch female JIC swivel port, allowing rotational adjustment during installation to eliminate hose twist. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting is suited for applications where corrosion resistance is critical, including marine, chemical, and high-moisture industrial environments. It carries a 7/16-20 thread specification on the JIC swivel end. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and marine service professionals are the primary installers.

This fitting belongs to Midland Industries 43 Series SS crimp hose fittings line, which is designed for use with compatible crimp hose assemblies in fluid conveyance systems. The 45-degree elbow geometry is commonly used where hose routing requires a change in direction without sharp bends, reducing stress on the hose and connected components. Typical applications include hydraulic circuits, fuel lines, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel is specified over brass or carbon steel due to environmental or media compatibility requirements.

Key Features

• 45-degree swivel elbow geometry reduces hose stress and simplifies routing in tight spaces
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance for marine and chemical environments
• Female JIC swivel end allows rotational positioning to prevent hose twist during final torque
• 1/4-inch hose connection paired with 1/4-inch female JIC swivel for matched-size assemblies
• 7/16-20 thread specification on the JIC swivel end for standard JIC 37-degree flare compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp hose fitting for use with 1/4-inch hydraulic and fluid transfer hose assemblies requiring a 45-degree female JIC swivel elbow termination in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of hydraulic hose fittings should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with JIC flare connections. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. JIC swivel ends require proper torque to the fitting body without overtightening, which can distort the 37-degree flare seating surface. Verify hose crimp specifications with the hose manufacturer before assembly to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
