ORFS Female Connection for Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
The ORFS Female Flat Face Swivel Hydraulic Hose Fitting provides a straight connection between a hydraulic hose assembly and a compatible ORFS male connection.
The fitting combines an ORFS female swivel connection with a hose stem, providing a compact hose-end connection for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems.
Key Features
- ORFS female flat face swivel connection
- Straight hydraulic hose fitting configuration
- Hose stem for hydraulic hose assemblies
- Available in stainless steel and carbon steel
- Swivel connection for easier hose installation
- Designed for compatible ORFS face-seal connections
Material Options
Stainless steel and carbon steel versions are available for different hydraulic system requirements. Stainless steel is commonly selected where corrosion resistance is important, while carbon steel is widely used for general hydraulic applications. Material selection should consider the operating environment, fluid compatibility and system requirements.
ORFS Flat Face Connection
ORFS, or O-Ring Face Seal, uses a flat-face connection designed to mate with a compatible ORFS male fitting. In the mating connection, the O-ring on the male sealing face is compressed against the female flat face to form the seal.
The connection type, thread size and mating geometry should be confirmed when selecting a fitting for a new hose assembly or replacing an existing connection.
Swivel Connection for Installation
The female swivel connection allows the fitting to be connected to the mating port or fitting without rotating the complete hose assembly.
This can simplify installation and help maintain the intended hose routing when assembling or servicing hydraulic connections.
Designed for Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
This fitting incorporates a hose stem for integration into a hydraulic hose assembly, while the opposite end provides the ORFS female connection required to connect the hose to compatible hydraulic equipment or system components.
It should be distinguished from an ORFS adapter used between rigid connection points, as the hose stem is specifically intended for hose assembly.
Typical Applications
ORFS female hydraulic hose fittings are commonly used in:
- Hydraulic machinery and equipment
- Industrial fluid power systems
- Machinery and equipment connections
- Hydraulic hose assemblies using compatible ORFS connections
Selecting the Correct Fitting
Correct fitting selection requires matching both the ORFS connection and the hose side of the assembly.
Confirm the ORFS thread size, hose size and specification, material and fitting configuration before ordering. For replacement or custom requirements, drawings, samples or existing fitting references can help verify the required connection.
