Description
SU Type 5/16″ Barbed Stem Banjo (Steel)
The SU Type 5/16″ barbed stem banjo fitting is a precision-engineered component designed for secure fuel, oil, or fluid line connections. Manufactured in durable steel, it offers strength, wear resistance, and reliability in both automotive and industrial applications.
Design: Banjo-style fitting with an integrated 5/16″ barbed stem, ensuring a tight, leak-resistant connection to flexible hose without the need for complex clamps.
Material: Steel construction for durability, corrosion resistance (often zinc-plated or treated), and suitability for pressurized systems.
Application: Commonly used in SU carburettor fuel systems and other fluid transfer setups where a compact, low-profile connection is required.
Advantages:
Compact banjo shape allows installation in confined spaces.
Barbed stem provides a secure grip on hoses, particularly when used with nylon or PTFE, reducing the risk of leaks or disconnections.
Steel body withstands higher pressures and mechanical stresses compared to brass or aluminium alternatives.
This fitting is often found in classic automotive fuel systems, particularly British cars equipped with SU carburettors, but it can also be used in custom fuel line assemblies or hydraulic applications where a 5/16″ hose connection is specified.
