Solve Tight Hydraulic Routing Problems
When a hydraulic line needs to pass through a structural panel and change direction at the same time, a standard straight union may not be the right choice. The 2701 90° bulkhead elbow combines these functions into one fitting.
The bulkhead configuration supports through-panel installation, while the 90° orientation helps redirect the hydraulic line without requiring an additional elbow. This can make it easier to organize hydraulic lines inside machinery, equipment frames, and compact installations.
Reliable 37° JIC Connections
Both ends of the 2701 use JIC 37° flare connections, providing a metal-to-metal sealing interface with compatible JIC components. This makes the fitting suitable for hydraulic circuits where dependable connections and controlled line routing are important.
The two JIC connections also allow the fitting to function as a union through a panel while changing the direction of the hydraulic line by 90°.
Built for Demanding Hydraulic Equipment
The 2701 is available in steel construction, with the collection specifying 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed steel. Clear zinc trivalent plating and passivation provide additional surface protection for demanding hydraulic environments.
The collection lists working pressure up to 5,000 PSI, although the actual rating depends on fitting size, tube or hose size, and system conditions.
Where 2701 Bulkhead Elbows Make Sense
The 2701 is a strong choice for applications where hydraulic lines must pass through a mounting surface and change direction, including:
- Machine tools
- Agricultural machinery
- Earth-moving equipment
- Industrial hydraulic systems
- Mobile fluid-power equipment
- Instrumentation systems
- Chemical processing equipment
High-pressure hydraulic circuits
Select the Correct Size
The 2701 collection offers multiple JIC size combinations. Before ordering, confirm the required JIC size on both ends, along with the tubing or hose size and available panel space.
For bulkhead installations, also make sure the mounting hole and panel arrangement are suitable for the selected fitting. Correct sizing helps prevent unnecessary adapters and makes installation more straightforward.

FAQs
What is a 2701 JIC Bulkhead Union Elbow?
The 2701 is a 90° hydraulic bulkhead elbow with JIC 37° flare connections on both ends. It allows a hydraulic line to pass through a panel or bulkhead while changing direction by 90°.
What is the difference between a 2700 and 2701?
The 2700 is a straight bulkhead union, while the 2701 is a 90° bulkhead union elbow. The 2701 is preferred when the hydraulic line needs a directional change at the mounting surface.
What type of connection does the 2701 use?
The 2701 uses JIC 37° flare connections on both ends.
What material is the 2701 made from?
The collection specifies steel, including 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material.
Can the 2701 be used for high-pressure hydraulics?
Yes. The collection lists a working pressure up to 5,000 PSI, with the actual working pressure depending on fitting size, tube or hose size, and system conditions.
Where is a 90° bulkhead elbow useful?
It is especially useful when a hydraulic line must pass through a machine panel or frame and turn 90°, particularly where installation space or access is limited.
How do I choose the correct 2701 size?
Match the JIC size on both ends to the compatible hydraulic components and verify the tubing/hose size and available bulkhead mounting space before ordering.
