When an aerator is added to the faucet (or fluid stream), there is a region of high pressure created behind the aerator. Because of the higher pressure behind the aerator and the low pressure in front of it (outside the faucet), due to Bernoulli's principle there is an increase in velocity of the fluid flow.
The copper crush washer in the gap between the fitting and body of the caliper completes the seal. Compared to pipe fittings that are themselves threaded, banjo fittings have the advantage that they do not have to be rotated relative to the host fitting. This avoids damage that can be caused by twisting the hose during installation.
Fluid thread breakup is the process by which a single mass of fluid breaks into several smaller fluid masses.

The thread-like regions continue to thin until they break, forming individual droplets of fluid.
