Midland Industries SS6500-16-16 90-deg Swivel Elbow Jic

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS6500-16-16 is a 90-degree swivel elbow hydraulic adapter that connects 1-inch male JIC to 1-inch female JIC swivel fittings. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this adapter is built for corrosive-environment service where standard carbon steel fittings are not suitable. It carries a maximum operating pressure rating of 3000 psi and uses a 1-5/16-12 thread specification on both ends. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid-system installers use this fitting where a 90-degree change in flow direction is needed without sacrificing swivel articulation for alignment.

This adapter is used in hydraulic lines, fluid transfer assemblies, and high-pressure plumbing systems where stainless steel construction is required for corrosion resistance or sanitary compliance. The SS6500 series swivel elbow configuration is well suited for tight routing situations in industrial, marine, and agricultural equipment applications where fixed elbows would not allow proper line alignment during installation.

Key Features

• 90-degree swivel elbow configuration allows directional change while maintaining swivel articulation for easy line alignment
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh or marine environments
• 3000 psi maximum operating pressure rating suitable for demanding hydraulic and fluid transfer applications
• 1-5/16-12 thread specification on both connection ends for consistent JIC fitment
• Female JIC swivel end reduces installation stress by allowing rotational adjustment during assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid transfer systems requiring 1-inch male JIC to 1-inch female JIC swivel connections in the SS6500 series configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. JIC fittings rely on metal-to-metal flare seating and should be torqued to the fitting manufacturer specification using a calibrated torque wrench - do not over-torque, as this will damage the flare seat. Verify thread engagement and inspect for leaks before returning the system to operating pressure.
