Prevost Rotating Double Nipple – BSPT Thread

Description

Prevost Rotating Double Nipple

Enhanced Maneuverability and Kink Prevention for Air Tool Connections

The Prevost Rotating Double Nipple is a specialized pneumatic fitting designed to provide 360-degree rotation at the connection point. By allowing the air line or tool to rotate freely, this fitting eliminates the common frustrations of hose twisting, kinking, and tangling. It serves as a dynamic bridge between your air supply and your pneumatic tools, significantly improving ergonomics and protecting your hoses from premature wear.

Constructed for high-performance industrial use, this rotating nipple ensures that your air lines follow your movement rather than fighting against it.

Key Features

• Full 360-Degree Rotation: The integrated swivel mechanism allows for continuous rotation under full pressure. This prevents the “corkscrew” effect that occurs when moving around a workpiece, keeping your workspace organized and safe.
• Superior Ergonomics: By removing the resistance caused by rigid hose connections, this fitting reduces strain on the operator’s wrist and arm. It is particularly effective for high-motion tasks like spray painting, sanding, and assembly.
• High-Strength Construction: Built from nickel-plated steel or high-grade brass to withstand the mechanical stresses of a busy shop. The internal bearings are designed for smooth rotation even when the system is pressurized to its maximum limit.
• Leak-Proof Swivel Design: Features precision-engineered internal seals that maintain a constant, airtight connection during rotation. This ensures you get the full power of your compressor without the energy waste of air leaks.
• Compact and Streamlined: The low-profile design adds minimal length to your tool setup, ensuring that the balance and “feel” of your pneumatic grinders, drills, or impact wrenches remain unchanged.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

• Spray Guns: Allows the painter to move around vehicles or furniture without the air hose dragging or twisting the gun out of alignment.
• Impact Wrenches: Ideal for automotive work where the tool must be positioned at various angles in tight engine bays.
• Air Blowguns: Provides better range of motion for cleaning machinery and hard-to-reach areas.
• Hose-to-Hose Connections: Acts as a swivel joint between two lengths of hose to prevent the entire line from tangling over long distances.

Installation Note

For the best results, install the Rotating Double Nipple directly between the tool inlet and your quick-disconnect plug. This puts the rotation point exactly where the movement is most frequent, providing the greatest benefit to the operator.
