The Female Pipe Swivel is a versatile fitting used in plumbing and fluid transfer applications for connecting pipes and hoses. Here's a breakdown of its key features and benefits:
Features:
Female Thread: This fitting features internal threads on one end, designed to screw onto a male threaded pipe or nipple.
Swivel Design: The swivel allows the fitting to rotate on its axis, providing flexibility in routing pipes and reducing stress on them during misalignment or vibration.
Leak-Proof Seal: The threads and swivel mechanism, when properly tightened, create a tight seal to prevent leaks.
Female pipe swivels are commonly used in various plumbing and fluid transfer applications, including:
Water Lines: Connecting pipes in hot and cold water supply lines.
Air Lines: Connecting pipes in compressed air systems.
Gas Lines: Used with caution and proper regulations for low-pressure natural gas or propane lines (**always check local codes and regulations for gas line applications).
Hydraulic Lines: Connecting pipes in low-pressure hydraulic systems (**not recommended for high-pressure hydraulic applications).
Irrigation Systems: Connecting pipes in sprinkler and irrigation systems.
