A Better Fit for Angled Line Routing
Not every hydraulic line can run straight through a machine panel. The 2702 is designed for installations where the connection needs to pass through a mounting surface while the hydraulic line changes direction at 45°.
This angled configuration can help create a more organized hose layout and provide additional routing flexibility around equipment frames, panels, and other installation obstacles.
37° JIC Connections on Both Ends
The 2702 uses Male JIC connections on both sides, with a 37° flare sealing interface. This makes it suitable for connecting compatible JIC hydraulic lines while maintaining the bulkhead function through a panel or mounting surface.
The 45° orientation also helps position connected hoses and tubing without forcing an immediate sharp 90° change in direction.
Steel Construction for Demanding Service
The 2702 is available in steel construction, with the collection specifying 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material. The fitting is also listed with clear zinc trivalent plating and passivation for surface protection.
For applications requiring higher operating capability, the collection lists working pressures up to 5,000 PSI, with the actual rating dependent on fitting and tube size.
Where the 2702 Fits Best
This bulkhead elbow is a practical option for:
- Hydraulic hose assemblies
- Machine tools
- Agricultural machinery
- Earth-moving equipment
- Industrial hydraulic systems
- Instrumentation systems
- Chemical processing equipment
- Mobile hydraulic equipment
- High-pressure hydraulic applications
Select the Correct 2702 Size
The collection provides multiple size combinations, including -04-04, -05-05, -06-06, -08-06, -08-08, -10-10, -12-12, -16-16, and -20-20.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Required JIC size on each side
- Compatible hose or tube size
- Available bulkhead mounting space
- Required routing angle
- Pressure requirements of the hydraulic system
Choosing the correct size from the beginning can help avoid unnecessary adapters and installation changes.
Why Buy From Gear House Hydraulics?

FAQs
What is a 2702 JIC Bulkhead Union Elbow?
The 2702 is a 45° bulkhead hydraulic fitting designed to pass through a panel or mounting surface while providing a 45° change in hydraulic line direction.
What type of connections does the 2702 use?
The 2702 uses Male JIC connections on both ends with a 37° flare sealing interface.
Why use a 45° bulkhead elbow instead of a straight bulkhead?
A 45° elbow is useful when the hydraulic line needs to leave the bulkhead at an angle. It can provide more routing flexibility than a straight bulkhead connection.
What is the difference between 2701 and 2702?
The 2701 is a 90° bulkhead union elbow, while the 2702 uses a 45° elbow configuration. Your choice depends on the direction and clearance required for the hydraulic line.
What material is the 2702 made from?
The collection specifies steel, including 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material.
Can the 2702 be used in high-pressure hydraulic systems?
The collection lists working pressures up to 5,000 PSI, although the actual working pressure varies according to tube and fitting size and system conditions.
What sizes are available?
The collection currently lists multiple sizes ranging from -04-04 through -20-20, including several different size combinations.
How do I choose the right 2702?
Match the JIC size on both ends to the compatible hose, tube, or fitting and make sure the 45° configuration provides adequate clearance for your installation.
