Technical & Selection Guide

Banjo Elbow (SPH) vs. Swivel Elbow (SPL): Which Do I Need?

Choose this Banjo Elbow (SPH) if:

Vertical height is your main concern. The banjo is significantly shorter.

You need to stack multiple fittings very close to a surface.

Choose a Swivel Elbow (SPL) if:

You have adequate vertical space.

You prefer a more traditional elbow design.

The banjo fitting is the specialist for extremely compact designs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What is a "banjo fitting"?

A: It is a type of fitting that connects to a port using a hollow bolt (the banjo bolt) that passes through a ring-shaped body (the "banjo"). This design allows fluid to pass through the bolt and into the fitting, while permitting the fitting to be rotated.

Q: Do I need special seals for the banjo bolt?

A: No, the banjo bolt is typically sealed against the mounting surface with an integrated O-ring or a bonded seal washer, which is included with the fitting.

Q: Can this fitting handle the same pressure as a regular elbow?

A: Yes. Despite its compact design, the SPH series is engineered from solid stainless steel and is rated for the same high performance and pressure ratings as our other stainless steel push-in fittings.
