Thank you Very MuchJoe Mechanic said:I can't recall seeing a banjo fitting on an commercial aircraft but I have seen them on automobiles. It is a doughnut shaped fitting that has fluid delivered to it via a tube. The doughnout is held to whatever receives the fluid by a bolt with a sealing washer; the doughnut hole is slightly larger than the bolt. The fluid comes down the tube, through to the center of the doughnut, through the center of the bolt and makes a 90 degree turn into whatever device receives the fluid. Where is it applied? I don't know. Maybe to a small aircraft's brake caliper?

A banjo fitting is a type of fluid connection commonly used in aerospace applications. It consists of a hollow bolt with a hollow and spherical end, allowing fluid to pass through it.
Banjo fittings are used in aerospace for a variety of purposes, including connecting fluid lines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems. They are also commonly used in engine components and landing gear assemblies.
Banjo fittings offer several advantages in aerospace applications. They are lightweight, compact, and provide a secure connection between fluid lines. They also allow for flexibility in installation and can be rotated to accommodate different positions.
Banjo fittings are typically made of high-strength materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum. This ensures their durability and ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures in aerospace environments.
Banjo fittings are typically installed using a sealing washer and a lock nut. They should be regularly inspected and replaced if any signs of wear or damage are present. Proper torque and installation techniques are also important for maintaining the integrity of banjo fittings.
