Continuous-Swivel Threaded Hose Fittings for Hydraulic Fluid
Also known as live swivels, these fittings have ball bearings, so they can swivel continuously 360° before and after installation. This not only makes installation easier, but also eliminates the twisting and kinking that can cause premature hose failure. Fittings are threaded on both ends so you can connect them directly to a threaded hose end or to pumps, cylinders, and other equipment in your hydraulic system. They are zinc-plated steel, which has excellent strength and durability. Fittings have fair corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a 37° flared end are also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings and meet JIC standards for dimensions.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks. They are also known as O-ring boss threads.

Continuous-Swivel Threaded Hose Fittings for Chemicals and Petroleum
Built with ball bearings, these fittings continuously swivel 360° before and after installation to prevent your hose from twisting, kinking, and failing. Rotate them as needed to thread them onto hose ends, pumps, nozzles, and other equipment in your system. Also known as live swivels. They’re made of 316 stainless steel, so they won’t corrode from a wide variety of chemicals, as well as fuels, gasoline, and oil.
- For Use With: Boric Acid, Citric Acid, Diesel Fuel, Ethanol, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Hydraulic Fluid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Mineral Oil, Sodium Hydroxide
- Maximum Pressure: 150 psi @ 72° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 29 in. of Hg @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: -20° to 300° F
Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Chemicals and Petroleum
Made of metal, these couplings have better durability than plastic cam-and-groove couplings. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug. Couplings are compatible with Andrews, Dixon, Ever-Tite, and PT cam-and-groove couplings.
Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel fittings. They have good corrosion resistance.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.

Threaded Swivels for Hose Nozzles
To prevent hose from twisting, kinking, and wearing prematurely, these swivels rotate before and after installation as needed. Connect them to the threaded end of your dispensing hose.
Anodized aluminum swivels have good corrosion resistance and are lighter in weight than chrome-plated brass swivels. Chrome-plated brass swivels have comparable corrosion resistance to anodized aluminum swivels, but are softer, so they’re easier to thread together. They have a bright, shiny appearance.
Swivels for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) won’t pollute the fluid, which is prone to contamination. Made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, they stand up to chemicals. Those with NPT threads require a thread sealant (sold separately) to create a leakproof connection and protect the fluid from impurities.
Straight swivels rotate at the female connection point only. They are also known as inline swivels.
45° offset swivels rotate at the male connection point and at the elbow. They are UL listed.
