Midland Industries SS43-12-12FORFS90 90-deg Elbow Hose Fitting

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS43-12-12FORFS90 is a 90-degree elbow crimp hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection. Built from 316 stainless steel, this fitting connects a 3/4-inch crimp hose end (dash size 12) to a 3/4-inch female O-ring face seal (ORFS) port. The 90-degree elbow geometry is used where routing constraints prevent a straight-line connection, reducing stress on hose assemblies in tight installations. It is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and fluid-systems mechanics working on equipment where stainless construction is specified for corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards.

This fitting is part of Midland Industries 43 Series SS Crimp Hose Fittings line, engineered for use with crimp hoses in industrial, marine, agricultural, and fluid-transfer systems. The female ORFS connection provides a leak-free metal-to-metal face seal, making it well suited for medium- to high-pressure hydraulic circuits and fluid lines where thread-sealing compounds are undesirable. The 316 stainless steel construction stands up to saltwater exposure, chemical wash-down environments, and corrosive fluid contact that would degrade carbon steel or brass fittings.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for routing hose assemblies around obstructions
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or marine environments
• 3/4-inch hose end (dash size 12) compatible with standard crimp hose assemblies
• 3/4-inch female O-ring face seal (ORFS) port delivers a leak-free metal-to-metal seal
• Part of the 43 Series SS Crimp Hose Fittings family for consistent assembly compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with dash size 12 crimp hoses. Suitable for systems utilizing 3/4-inch female O-ring face seal ports. Consult system specifications to confirm pressure ratings and fluid compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hydraulic technicians or plumbers using appropriate crimping equipment for the hose end and standard ORFS wrenching procedures for the face seal connection. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the O-ring sealing surface for nicks or contamination prior to assembly, and use a new, undamaged O-ring to ensure a proper face seal. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for ORFS connections.
