ABSTRACT:
A banjo fitting is disclosed comprising a block, a stud, a saddle washer pair and a cap. The saddle washer pair is bent so as to partially surround and clip onto the block. In this manner the block and washer pair form a single unit to simplify installation of the banjo fitting. The block further includes a pair of walls that extend from opposite faces of the block and engage the stud so as to provide a clocking feature. In this manner, the stud and the block remain properly aligned even as the cap is tightened on the stud to secure the block.
