How Pipe Swivel Fittings Work

Pipe swivel adapters are manufactured in accordance to SAE J514 specifications, and thus are designed to work in conjunction with several manufacturers’ hose and adapter products. Unlike most pipe thread connections, NPSM swivel adapters do not seal on the threads. NPSM swivel connections incorporate parallel threads, as opposed to tapered. Sealing is accomplished between the nose of the swivel and the mating seat of the NPT pipe thread. This creates a metal-to-metal seal. Thus, a mating NPT male connector must have this 30° seat to ensure proper sealing. A full internal 30° seat with surface finish requirements of 125 Ra or better is required.
