Description
Tompkins Industries 6801-12-08 hydraulic adapter, a 90° elbow with a -12 male JIC 37° flare on one end (1-1/16-12 UN-2A thread, 3/4 in tube) and a -8 male SAE O-ring boss on the other (3/4-16 UNF-2A thread). Standard steel construction with a captive O-ring on the ORB side. Used to redirect hydraulic flow 90° between JIC tube fittings and ORB ports on heavy-duty truck hydraulic systems, dump bodies, wet kits, and mobile equipment.

Cross References
This part is interchangeable with equivalent Parker / industry 6801 series adapters at the same dash sizes:
- Industry callout: 6801-12-08 (Male JIC -12 × Male ORB -8, 90° elbow)
- Also known as: FF1862T-12-08, C5515X12X8 (cross-reference numbers used by various distributors for the same dash sizes — brand attribution unverified)
Applications
This 90° elbow is used to make a right-angle transition between:
- A 3/4 in JIC 37° tube line (-12) and a 1/2 in SAE ORB port (-8) on a hydraulic pump, valve body, cylinder, or manifold
- Heavy-duty truck hydraulic systems — dump bodies, wet kits, lift gates, snow plow / spreader hydraulics, refuse / packer bodies
- Mobile and industrial hydraulic systems where space dictates a 90° connection at the port
Verify both end thread sizes (1-1/16-12 JIC and 3/4-16 ORB) before installing. Replace the captive O-ring on the ORB side any time the fitting is removed; reusing a compressed O-ring will leak.
