L-Type Swivel Joint for Right-Angle Swing Applications


Swing joint and 90° elbow in one body — fewer fittings, tighter layouts

Overview


The L-type swivel joint combines a reciprocating swing connection with a 90° flow-direction change in a single housing. Where a rigid-pipe run must both pivot and turn a right angle, this one-piece design replaces a separate swivel joint plus an elbow — reducing potential leak paths and saving installation space. It carries the same duty rating as the standard swivel family (100 rpm, 200°C, 5.5 MPa on steam and water) with bores from DN6 to DN300, and the rolling-ball supported welded structure keeps operating torque low. Commonly applied in loading arm systems and rubber vulcanizing machines where the medium line changes direction at the moving joint; installation drawings are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions


1 What is an L-type swivel joint, and where is it used?
The L-type combines a reciprocating swing connection with a 90° flow-direction change in a single housing — wherever a rigid-pipe run must both pivot and turn a right angle. Fewer fittings means fewer potential leak paths, and the rating matches the rest of the swivel family: 100 rpm / 200°C / 5.5 MPa, bores DN6–DN300.
2 Can the L-type replace an existing right-angle swing joint?
Yes — the integrated elbow is dimensionally adaptable, and detailed installation and connection drawings are available on request. Send a photo of the nameplate plus the mounting dimensions (bore, flange, thread) and we will confirm interchangeability within 24 hours.
