Product description
The Steel ORB Female × NPTF Male Adapter is a straight adapter, in forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated. Its ends are SAE O-ring boss (ORB) female and NPTF (Dryseal) male. O-ring boss ports are the standard straight-thread port on US-built pumps, valves and cylinders.
Construction
- Body: straight adapter
- End 1: SAE O-ring boss (ORB) female
- End 2: NPTF (Dryseal) male
- Material: forged carbon steel, trivalent zinc plated
- O-ring: NBR (Buna-N)
Ends and sealing
- SAE O-ring boss (ORB): SAE straight-thread port sealed by an O-ring under the hex; SAE J1926 / ISO 11926.
- NPTF (Dryseal): Dryseal taper pipe thread, cut so the crests and roots close up as the joint is tightened, so it seals on the thread; ASME B1.20.3.
Sizes
18 part numbers, 1/4" to 1-1/2". The Sizes & Part Numbers tab lists the size on each end, dimensions in millimetres and the Parker equivalent for every one.
- End 1: SAE O-ring boss (ORB), 1/4" to 1-1/2" (7/16-20 to 1-7/8-12)
- End 2: NPTF (Dryseal), 1/8" to 1-1/2" (1/8-27 to 1-1/2-11.5)

| NOTE: Since many factors influence the pressure at which a system will or will not perform satisfactory, values shown in this table should not be construed as guaranteed minimum. |
Parker equivalents
For 6 of the 18 sizes the size table gives the Parker part number the manufacturer cross-references, so a part number taken off existing equipment can be matched to the Indus part number.
Stainless-steel version
The same configuration in 316 stainless steel: Stainless Steel ORB Female × NPT Male Connector.
How to order
Quote the Indus part number from the size table. If you only have the fitting, send the thread or tube size on each end, and Indus engineering will confirm the part number. Price and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.
