Banjo poly strainers help ensure that your sprayer tank and lines remain clear of debris to maximize system valves, pumps, and more for maximum performance. These in-line replacement filter screens come equipped with ISO color-coded 316 stainless steel mesh that is ISO color coded for easy identification.
The Banjo Fitting
Banjo fittings are fluid-transfer fittings commonly seen on automotive braking systems, but can also be found in fuel lines and other locations where pressurized liquids need to be passed through pressurized pipes. They’re named for their distinctive shape: an oval with two circular sections attached at either end, used with hoses to manage pressurized fluid transfer such as oil and brake fluid.
Bangjo bolts differ from other threaded fittings in that they do not require you to turn them when installing. Instead, your hose or line must simply be threaded through and tightened – this minimizes risk to either its integrity or your equipment.
A typical banjo fitting features a hollow bolt with holes for the hose or barbs, as well as an attachment ring which holds them in place. This ring makes contact with the inside of its host fitting to form an effective seal even if your hose isn’t centered perfectly within its host hole. When tightened by bolt, this ring presses against your hose forming an effective seal even if its placement in not perfect.
A banjo bolt features a special head designed to accommodate various pipe and hose sizes and styles. Most commonly made from aluminum or stainless steel, its heads often have special grooves designed to hold crush washers which prevent leaking. Some designs feature metric threads while others sport standard hex heads; both styles of banjo bolt can come equipped with different torque specs depending on application and pressure of fluid passing through them.
These banjo bolts typically display their compatibility with various sizes and types of hose, so it is essential that you know your hose specifications before purchasing one. A thread gauge or caliper will give an accurate reading on both diameter and height for an accurate reading of banjo bolt measurements.
JEGS offers an extensive selection of replacement banjo bolts for various applications and vehicles, featuring carbon and stainless steel versions in various sizes. In addition, we carry banjo adapters which convert standard car and truck braking systems into bleeder style brake calipers; these adapters include banjo-to-AN brake hose barb adapters as well as many other variations.
The Banjo Filter
This 2″ banjo poly strainer features a 50 mesh stainless steel screen to filter passing fluids and separate out solids from them, perfect for plumbing together machines and tanks to prevent debris from entering your pressure washer pump. Furthermore, it can easily be disassembled for cleaning! Plus! It comes apart quickly for convenient servicing!
Subaru oil filters often receive criticism for being too restrictive and impeding fuel flow during boost. Although an oil change every 3.7k miles could potentially help avoid turbo bearing wear and catch particles before they enter the engine oil, most people do not take this level of preventive maintenance seriously.
Addition of a -6an banjo bolt adapter kit is an inexpensive, simple and efficient way to improve fuel flow for engines under boost. Installation takes only minutes! This simple modification could make an immediate improvement to fuel circulation.
The Banjo Bolt
Banjo bolts are a type of hydraulic fitting commonly found in automotive, plumbing and other applications requiring the transfer of pressurized fluid. Consisting of an hollow bolt with an opening and collar attached at its end that secures end hose or tube connections securely to it, banjo bolts come both threaded and non-threaded varieties; additionally they typically come complete with banjo bolt washers to help provide tight seal and reduce vibration.
Banjo filters rely on their signature “banjo bolt” to secure themselves to a vehicle’s fuel system. This specialized fitting, commonly referred to as a “banjo-style” or “banjo-type” connector, connects directly from the fuel line into its respective pump or injector for proper functioning and prevents leaks and contaminants from entering into its core functionality, keeping your system reliable and strong.
Banjo fittings may seem small in size but their versatility makes them invaluable tools. Not only can they connect fuel lines in vehicles; they’re also used extensively in brake systems where they connect the brake line to master cylinder and wheel calipers to transfer hydraulic pressure efficiently and ensure smooth and efficient performance.
Turbochargers and other forced-induction systems rely heavily on turbochargers and forced-induction seals as vital connections for oil and coolant lines to reach their engines. Their durable materials can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures while helping ensure proper functioning of the system.
Banjo bolts have long been utilized in marine and aerospace environments. You can find them on boats, jet skis, and airplanes where they assist with pressurized fluid flows. Furthermore, these connections allow hydraulic power units to connect smoothly with motors or other hydraulic components for seamless performance.
As with any installation project, finding the appropriate parts to ensure its successful execution can be daunting. Luckily, several manufacturers produce high-quality banjo filters and fittings suitable for many different applications; doing some research will enable you to locate one which meets all your specific needs with ease.
The Banjo Screen
Screens and strainers help maintain optimal operation for spray body lines by filtering out dirt and debris that accumulates, such as Banjo replacement MLS222 2″ Y-strainer mesh screens that come in various sizes to fit into Y-strainer bodies to keep them clear of unwanted dirt. Inline filters, O-rings and Gaskets from Banjo can also keep your system flowing smoothly.
Attention college-educated engineers: the next time you design a lift pump fitting, why don’t you opt for a proper strainer instead of this puny little thing?
