Dixon Valve, 440FXFAL15015, Aluminum 4" Swivel Joint Style 40 Female NPT x Female NPT

Features:

• O-ring pressure seal ensures a leak-proof seal and smooth rotation with lower torque.
• Full 360° rotational movement
• Wide spacing between dual ball bearing raceways ensures greater load-bearing capacity
• 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 the chamber from outside elements

Applications:

• Used wherever a leak-proof swivel connection is needed in pipelines or in combination with hoses to eliminate hose twisting
• Industries range from petroleum, petrochemical, refining, mining, distilling, paint, farm irrigation and fertilizing, wastewater treatment plants and food and beverage process equipment. Dixon™'s swivel joints are found in blending plants, drum filling applications, fluid and dry bulk transfer, vacuum trucks, oil and gas trucks and water trucks. Larger swivels can be found in the steel industry, marine bulk transfer and many more.

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. Twice yearly is normally sufficient.
