373-2008: Swivel Fitting

Description: A swivel fitting is a type of hose fitting that allows a hose to rotate while it is still connected to a fixed point. In the case of a washdown hose reel, it allows the hose to be wound and unwound without twisting or kinking. This is especially useful when the hose is under pressure or when it is being used in a confined space. Attributes: • Made from durable materials and it resists corrosion and wear. • Prevents damage to the hose by reducing stress. Applications: A swivel fitting is typically located at the point where the hose connects to the reel which helps to prevent tangles in the hose and it is exclusively used in Cat AP-1000E, 10-20B, 10-20WB, 8-16B, AP-1055E, AP-600D, AP-655D Asphalt Paver.
