NPT Male Pipe Swivel

The NPT Male Pipe Swivel is a versatile fitting used in plumbing and fluid transfer applications to create secure, leak-proof connections while offering swivel functionality. Here's a breakdown of its key features and benefits:

Features:

• NPT Male Threads: This end features external threads that conform to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard for secure connections with female NPT threads.
• Swivel Design: The fitting allows the male NPT end to rotate on its axis, providing flexibility in pipe routing and reducing stress on pipes during misalignment or vibration.
• Leak-Proof Seal: The NPT threads and swivel mechanism, when properly tightened with sealant, create a tight seal to prevent leaks.

  NPT Male 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.
  • Low-Pressure 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).
  • Drain Lines: Can be used in drain lines where swivel functionality might be helpful for easier installation or adjusting for misalignment, but not recommended for high-pressure applications.
  • Low-Pressure Hydraulic Lines: May be used in low-pressure hydraulic systems, but not recommended for high-pressure applications due to potential for leaks at the swivel mechanism.
