Description
Overview:
The Swivel Connector 1/8" BSP/Gas is a compact in-line fitting designed to add movement and relieve strain in rigid or flexible gas pipework and hose assemblies. Made from corrosion‐resistant brass with a precision‐machined swivel joint, it allows connected hoses or pipes to rotate without twisting, helping to maintain a secure seal and reduce wear. The thread is 1/8" BSPP (G 1/8), a parallel British Standard Pipe "Gas" thread, with an outside diameter of about 9.7 mm; the nominal size is 1/8 inch (3.18 mm). Suitable for workshop gas lines, LPG equipment, burners, regulators, and general plant or site setups where a small BSP/G connection is used. Supplied individually, it is a practical choice for tradespeople and DIY users needing a tidy, reliable swivel point in compact systems.
Key Features:
- 1/8" BSPP (G 1/8) parallel thread for "Gas" applications; approx 9.7 mm thread OD (nominal 1/8 inch / 3.18 mm)
- Swivel mechanism permits rotation to prevent hose twist and reduce stress on joints
- Slide‐on design aids quick, tidy installation and alignment in tight spaces
- Brass construction for durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life
- Helps maintain a consistent seal to minimise leaks in vibration‐prone setups
- Compact hex body for easy tightening with standard spanners
- Suitable for use between rigid pipe and hose tails or between two hose sections
- Supports frequent re‐orientation without disturbing adjacent fittings
- Smooth internal bore to promote efficient gas flow
- Versatile for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and new installations
Typical Applications:
Used where small BSP "Gas" connections need freedom to rotate: linking regulators to hoses, connecting burners or pilot lines, building test rigs, instrument air or gas take‐offs, bench gas supplies, and compact plant or site heaters. Ideal anywhere vibration, movement, or frequent adjustment would otherwise stress a fixed joint.
