Precision-machined design ensures alignment and years of trouble-free service
Hydrostatic testing is performed on all swivels before shipment
O-ring dust seal protects the ball races and seals chamber from outside elements
Buna-N seal material
Standard grease
Carbon steel ball bearings
Applications: Used wherever a leak-proof swivel connection is needed in pipelines or in combination with hoses to eliminate hose twisting
Safety Notes:
The swivel should be packed such that the surfaces coming in contact with the fluid being handled are compatible with that fluid.
In case of the use of the swivel in submerged service, this would include the dust seals and ball bearings.
We always recommend the use of the stainless steel ball bearings when building a swivel for submerged service, since should the standard carbon steel ball bearings rust together, they make it possible to dissemble the swivel and may affect operation.
Lubrication should be performed periodically, depending on service and operating conditions.
