Description
SU Type 5/16″ Smooth Stem Banjo (Steel)
The SU Type 5/16″ smooth 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″ stem, ensuring a tight, leak-resistant connection to flexible hose without the need for complex clamps.
Material: Steel construction for durability, corrosion resistance (zinc-plated) 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. 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.
