Pipe Coupling facilitates multi-directional movement of hoses.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:27:11 -0500

Suited for connecting 2 runs of rigid pipe or flexible hose, or end fitting, such as nozzle or gun, Variacor® coupling for hydraulic hose applications provides free rotation through 360° for both sides of fitting while pneumatic option ensures free rotation of 360° for one side of fitting and 90° for other. Product changes angle of flow direction, axially between 180° and 90°, with full 360° swivel at either, or both ends. Adjustments are manual, instant, and can be free or lockable.
