Marelon is a trademark name of glass reinforced polypropylene fittings....
Banjo is also a brand of glass reinforced polypropylene fittings.... but MUCH more affordable
what would be the difference in using them in a marine application, besides the name and the price?....
it is my opinion that the Banjo brand ball valves seem to be a much stronger valve and is about 1/5th price of the Marelon brand.
the Marelon brand is specifically targeted/branded for use in a marine/below the waterline enviroment, and the Banjo brand is built for heavy industrial use, which i suppose is why it is so much more robust in design.
I have been using the Banjo poly fittings for years on fuel and water truck plumbing, and didnt realize it was the same technology as the Marelon fittings.
