Does a Banjo Bolt have to line up?
Banjo bolts and fittings do not have to be aligned for them to work. When you look at the banjo bolt you will find a ring that goes around the bolt. This design makes it possible for fluid to get into the system regardless of where the hole is on the banjo bolt. A banjo bolt is a significant part of a banjo fitting. Banjo bolts are hollow bolts with holes that allow fluid transfer into the other part of the fitting, which also has holes.
Banjo fittings get their name from the shape of the fitting, which has a large circular section coupled to a thin pipe. This construction gives it the form of the instrument the banjo. They are often used with fluid systems that control the transfer of pressurized fluid through lines and other components. There is no need for rotation when being fixed to the host fitting with banjo fittings, so the risk of damage is reduced.
