Live Swivels
Pressures Up to 40,000 psi (2,758 bar)
The NuQuip® Live Swivel is a single-plane pivoting swivel valve. The Live Swivel when used under pressure, provides movement for hand tools or other apparatus connected to a stationary connection, such as a hose, tube, or pipe line. The Live Swivel is suitable for applications with a maximum working pressure of 40,000 psi (2,758 bar) according to military, nuclear, automotive, and aerospace specifications such as API, ASTM, ASME, ISO, DIN, DOT, and BS.
The Live Swivel is specifically designed for industrial applications, and special high-pressure seals are available for harsh work environments. This accessory features single or multiple passages that utilize a variety of commonly used liquids and gases.
The compact, balanced design of the Live Swivel reduces operator fatigue often caused by twisted hoses during hydrostatic pressure testing, tube expansion, and waterjet cutting applications.
The tool is constructed from heat-treated, stainless steel to provide long, trouble-free service.
