Secure Hydraulic Line Routing
Hydraulic lines often need to pass through equipment panels while avoiding nearby components, frames, or other lines. The 2702-LN combines a bulkhead connection with a 45° elbow, giving you a practical way to route the line at an angle without adding another directional fitting.
The included locknut helps secure the bulkhead fitting in place, making it a useful choice for equipment where the connection needs to remain firmly positioned.
45° Design for Better Installation Flexibility
The 45° configuration provides an angled route between the two hydraulic connections. This can be especially useful when a straight bulkhead fitting does not provide the desired hose or tube position.
A properly positioned 45° fitting can help with:
- Hydraulic hose routing
- Panel clearance
- Component positioning
- Equipment layout
- Reducing unnecessary bends in the line
- Creating a cleaner hydraulic installation
Strong Steel Construction
The 2702-LN is manufactured from steel for the strength and durability required in demanding hydraulic environments. The collection specifies 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material.
A clear zinc trivalent finish and passivation provide additional surface protection for the fitting.
Reliable 37° JIC Flare Connections
The 2702-LN features Male JIC connections with 37° flare sealing. The flare connection creates the sealing interface with the compatible JIC mating component, making it suitable for hydraulic hose and tube connection applications.
Both connection ends use the JIC configuration, allowing the fitting to provide a continuous hydraulic connection through a bulkhead while directing the line at 45°.
Designed for Demanding Hydraulic Applications
The 2702-LN can be used across a wide range of hydraulic and fluid-power equipment, including:
- Hydraulic hose assemblies
- Agricultural machinery
- Construction equipment
- Earth-moving machinery
- Machine tools
- Industrial hydraulic systems
- Mobile hydraulic equipment
- Instrumentation systems
- Fluid power applications
The collection lists working pressure up to 5,000 PSI, with the actual working pressure dependent on fitting and tube size.
Why Choose the 2702-LN?
When your hydraulic system requires both angled line routing and secure bulkhead mounting, the 2702-LN offers both functions in one fitting.
Key Benefits
- 45° elbow configuration for practical hydraulic line routing
- Locknut included for secure bulkhead mounting
- Male JIC × Male JIC connections for compatible hydraulic systems
- 37° JIC flare sealing design
- Steel construction for demanding applications
- Protective zinc finish for improved surface protection
- Multiple sizes available for different hydraulic requirements
- Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications where the selected configuration is properly rated
Choosing the Right 2702-LN Size
Selecting the correct size is important for proper hydraulic system fitment. Before ordering, verify the JIC size on both ends and match it with the compatible hose, tube, or hydraulic component.
Also consider the panel thickness, mounting location, available clearance, and the direction in which the hydraulic line needs to travel after passing through the bulkhead.
Choosing the right size and configuration from the start can help simplify installation and avoid unnecessary adapters.

FAQs
What is a 2702-LN JIC Bulkhead Union Elbow?
The 2702-LN is a 45° hydraulic bulkhead elbow with a locknut, designed to pass a hydraulic connection through a panel or mounting surface while changing the line direction by 45°.
What does the “LN” mean?
The LN version includes a locknut, which helps secure the bulkhead fitting through a panel or mounting surface.
What type of JIC connection does it use?
The fitting uses Male JIC connections with 37° flare sealing on both ends.
What material is the 2702-LN made from?
The fitting is made from steel, with the collection specifying 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material.
Why use a 45° bulkhead elbow?
A 45° bulkhead elbow is useful when the hydraulic line needs to pass through a panel and then change direction at an angle, helping with routing and available installation space.
Is the locknut included?
Yes. The LN configuration includes the locknut for securing the bulkhead fitting during installation.
Can the 2702-LN be used for high-pressure hydraulics?
The collection lists working pressure up to 5,000 PSI, although the actual pressure capability depends on the fitting size, tube size, and system conditions.
What applications use 2702-LN fittings?
They are suitable for hydraulic hose assemblies, agricultural and construction machinery, machine tools, industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment, instrumentation, and other fluid-power applications.
How do I choose the correct size?
Match the JIC connection size on both ends with the compatible hydraulic hose, tube, or fitting. Also make sure the selected fitting has adequate clearance for the 45° routing and bulkhead installation.
