Fitting bends

Side bend fittings - Medium length banjo fittings depicted

Our fittings come in a range of different bends to fit your vehicle accurately.

We shall use banjo fittings to illustrate bend angles and orientations as depicted below.

Fittings come classed into a few types, for more examples of the different fittings we have available, please go to the fitting type page for more information.

Bends are divided into 3 distinct types:

Plain bends along the fitting's axial plane
Side bends along the fitting's lateral plane
Compound bends which are a combination of the 2 above bends

Plain bend banjo fittings are bent to angle along the banjo's axial plane

Side bend banjo fittings are bent to angle about the banjo's lateral plane

Compound banjo bends are a mix of various plain & side bends.
