Description
6500X1616 (commonly formatted as 6500-16-16) is the standard industry part number for a 1-inch Male JIC to 1-inch Female JIC Swivel 90-Degree Elbow Hydraulic Adapter Fitting.
It is primarily used to connect two hydraulic lines at a right angle while facilitating easier hose routing and reducing line stress in tight spaces. The alphanumeric designation breaks down into these technical specifications:
Model & Spec Breakdown
- 6500 / 6500X (Series): Identifies the configuration as a 90-Degree Swivel Elbow featuring a Male JIC (SAE 37° Flare) on one side and a Female JIC Swivel on the other.
- X1616 (Size): Indicates that both ports share an identical size, measured in 16ths of an inch (
16/16″):- Side 1 (Male JIC): 1-inch nominal size with a 1-5/16-12 UN/UNF straight thread.
- Side 2 (Female JIC Swivel): 1-inch nominal size with a 1-5/16-12 UN/UNF straight thread.
Key Performance Features
- Metal-to-Metal Sealing: “The seal forms when the male flared surface contacts the female cone seat, establishing a mechanical connection.” Because it lacks an O-ring, it is highly resilient in high-temperature applications.
- Stress-Free Positioning: “The combination of a male JIC fitting and a female JIC swivel simplifies orientation.” It allows you to align the 90-degree bend perfectly during installation without twisting or kinking the attached hydraulic hose.
- High-Pressure Rating: Typically rated to safely handle dynamic operating pressures up to 4,000 PSI with a 4:1 safety burst ratio when machined from heavy-duty forged steel.
- Universal Interchangeability: Fully compliant with SAE J514 (specifically code 070221C) engineering standards. It directly substitutes for major industry equivalents, including Parker 16 C6X-S, Aeroquip 2071-16-16S, and Weatherhead 3903-16-16.
