About Rotating Joints
Rotating joints transfer hot and cold materials from your supply line to a continuously revolving drum, roller, or other rotating equipment.

Snaps with Swivel Eye
These snaps have an eye that rotates for easy positioning.
Zinc-plated snaps are mildly corrosion resistant.
Brass and nickel-plated snaps are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated snaps.

High-Pressure Iron and Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
These fittings can stand up to high-pressure applications. Use them in noncorrosive environments.
Fittings with intermittent swivel have ball bearings and rotate 360° as needed to allow movement in a rigid metal piping system.
Note: The maximum pressure listed for Class 3000 fittings is for conditions where there are no sudden changes in pressure or velocity. Please refer to ASME B16.11 to determine the specific maximum operating pressure for your application.

Iron and Steel One-Way-Flow Rotating Joints
These joints have a rotating shaft with threads on one end that connect to a continuously revolving drum, roller, or other rotating equipment. Use them to transfer hot and cold materials from your supply line. Joints are for one-way flow and are meant to be used in pairs—one joint serves as the supply line while the other serves as the return line.
If your drum rotates counterclockwise as you face the connecting end, you should select a rotating joint with right-handed threads. If your drum rotates clockwise as you face the connecting end, you should select a rotating joint with left-handed threads.

High-Torque Single U-Joints
With a maximum torque of at least 11,600 in.-lbs., these U-joints handle more torque than any other U-joint in our offering. They’re single U-joints, meaning they connect and transfer torque between shafts that are misaligned at an angle. Often found in continuously running applications, they operate at higher speeds and last longer than other types of joints, thanks to their needle bearings.
Connect these U-joints to shafts using the included set screws. Unlike U-joints that use spring pins, there’s no drilling required. All have a grease fitting, so you can use a grease gun to lubricate all of the bearings at once.
Your shafts’ misalignment will affect the speed and torque the U-joint will be able to transmit. The more the shafts are misaligned, the less speed and torque the U-joint will be able to transmit.
