Reviews

Im leaving a review to clarify a few things that were unclear to me during the ordering: 1. The set is two (2) complete banjo fittings. It didnt sound cost-effective since the fuel valves I was ordering had three (3) ports, requiring me to order qty 2. But I spoke with the manufacturer and got some context... Many builders only need 2 banjos due to the L/R sides being constricted and are fine with the AN6 fitting for the front opening. Some builders are buying the duplex valve that has 6 ports, so packs of two makes sense. And some builders get two packs of two and like having the extra on the shelf just in case. 2. The bag came with both banjos fully assembled. I just needed to thread them onto the valve and tighten them down. Each one consists of the 5 individual pieces shown in the photo (the special adapter that mates directly to the fuel valve, bolt-like thing with holes, the banjo, and two metal washers with o-rings attached). 3. Despite what the V1-3-P-C page says, these banjos really are compatible with that valve. Theres plenty of clearance. 4. The AN6 banjo places the center of the fuel lines at about 10mm out from the valves radius. I dont have a Newton NPT 1/4 fitting or AN822-6D elbow to directly compare against, but maybe this info is useful. I didnt order the banjo because of any constriction I just wanted a downward-pointing AN6, with an easy-to-adjust rotation angle.

Q: Will these fittings work with a 1/4 inch ID fuel hose? Two of fittings look like fuel barbs.

Yes, the 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" options are barb fittings to attach the fuel line.

Q: Does the AN6 banjo come with two complete sets of fittings? Enough to connect two AN6 lines to the valve.

Yes that is correct.
