2701 JIC Bulkhead Union Elbow 90° | Hydraulic Fittings
Description
The 2701 JIC Bulkhead Union Elbow 90° is a precision-manufactured hydraulic fitting designed to provide a secure, leak-resistant 90° elbow connection through a panel or bulkhead. Featuring JIC 37° flare connections on both ends, this union elbow combines the durability of bulkhead mounting with reliable hydraulic sealing for high-pressure systems.
Connection Description & Function
- Configuration: 90° elbow with bulkhead union design
- Connection Type: JIC 37° flare on both ends
- Designed to pass hydraulic lines through panels, walls, or bulkheads
- Provides a right-angle change in direction while maintaining secure fluid flow
- Suitable for applications where space or access is limited
