The Dixon 15030FXFAL00000 aluminum swivel joint has 1-1/2" female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections and allows 360 degree rotation along a single axis in a piping system. The buna-n (buna nitrile) O-ring maintains system pressure to 150 pounds per square inch (psi) while allowing rotation and the dual ball bearing raceways increase load-bearing capacity. The aluminum construction provides light weight and the 90 degree radius elbow design ensures a smooth flow pattern. This style 30 swivel joint is suitable for use in petroleum piping applications.
Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
