Useful Information

Value for Money Range:

Our most popular and best value for money range of stainless steel ball and socket joints is R3496 silver/clear zinc plated ball and socket joints. Dimensionally these are exactly the same as standard DIN 71802 ball and socket joints but have the added benefits of a sealing cap to prevent dirt ingress and flats on the female housing for a spanner to grip them.

Also available in left hand thread, our part number R3497.

DIN 71802:

If you require stainless steel ball and socket joints to DIN 71802 then look no further than our R3466 range which are held in stock at low prices.
We also stock these in left hand threads, our part number R3467.
