Banjo: blue

Banjo bolts and banjo eyes are often used when a compact and tight connection is required for hoses, fittings and fluid-carrying systems where space may be limited. These lightweight banjo bolts and banjo eyes are of very high quality and have excellent flow characteristics, which is why they are often used in the aviation industry and other high-performance applications. Qualitec offers many different types of banjo bolts and banjo eyes for, for example, oil hoses and fuel hoses. They are typically stock items and are dispatched the same day as ordering.

All our banjo bolts and banjo eyes are made of aluminium, with an anodised surface treatment in several colours, which not only looks very good, but also helps provide the aluminium with optimal corrosion protection. Remember that two sealing washers must be used for each banjo bolt or banjo eye. Do not use ordinary copper washers for aluminium AN fittings, as copper and aluminium do not work well together and can cause corrosion of the aluminium.

Banjo bolts are available with several thread types, both metric and UNF.

Examples: M8x1 or M8x1.25. The first number is the diameter in millimetres. The last number is the thread pitch per turn.

Examples: 7/16"-20 UNF or 7/16"-24 UNF. The first number is the diameter in inches. The last number is the number of threads per inch.

As the difference between the two types with the same diameter is very small, it can be an advantage to measure the thread before ordering. You can use our thread measuring guide to determine which type you need.
