Swivel Fittings: Adjusting Their Way Into Your Application

Ever had that spot that you needed to blow off but no matter how hard you tried you couldn’t reach the spot with piping? Well here at EXAIR we’ve got a solution for you; Introducing the swivel fitting! When blowing off various parts it is better to have an angled sweep of air rather than blowing directly across or directly down onto the part. EXAIR’s Swivel fittings provide a movement of 25 degrees from the center, meaning a total of 50 degrees.

EXAIR’s Swivel Fittings Adjusted
Regardless of size of the air nozzle we can provide a swivel fitting to fit all of our nozzles starting at an M4 Thread up to a 1” NPT. The M4 (4mm), M5 (5mm), and M6 (6mm) swivel fittings come with a Female NPT to screw the nozzle into and a Male NPT to attach to the swivel fitting to the pipe. For our 1/8” Fitting up to the 1” Fittings a male NPT is used to connect the Nozzle and a female NPT is used to connect to the pipe. The swivel fittings can easily be adjusted by either loosening or tightening the center hex nut.
EXAIR’s Family of Swivel Fittings
If the swivel fitting doesn’t give you the adjustment that you need, they can be coupled with our Stay Set Hoses to give extra adjustment and positioning. Our stay set hoses come in lengths of 6” all the way up to 36” and provide easy positioning for your application. Of course, these hoses can also be used without a swivel fitting.

Swivel fittings are not used with just air nozzles, in many cases swivel fittings have been used with our smaller Air Amplifiers and our 3” Air Knifes.
