Coxreels 498 Swivel 90 Degree Brass 1/8 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The COXREELS 498 is a 90-degree swivel fitting designed for use with hose reels in demanding trade and industrial service environments. Constructed from brass, this swivel allows the hose to rotate freely at the inlet connection point, reducing hose stress and preventing kinking during operation. The 1/8 inch FNPT inlet threads directly into compatible reel inlet ports. At 0.5 pounds, the fitting is compact and lightweight without sacrificing durability. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals rely on this type of swivel to extend hose and reel service life in high-cycle applications.

This swivel is suited for hose reel installations where a 90-degree inlet transition is required. It is commonly installed in light-duty fluid transfer, air supply, and similar service lines where the hose routing demands an angled entry point. The 1/8 inch FNPT connection is standard on a range of compact hose reels. This fitting is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement service on existing reel assemblies.

Key Features

• 90-degree swivel geometry reduces hose strain at the reel inlet
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and air service
• 1/8 inch FNPT inlet for direct thread connection to compatible reel ports
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Sold individually for targeted replacement or new-build use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement swivel fitting for hose reels requiring a 90-degree brass inlet swivel with a 1/8 inch FNPT connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with threaded pipe fittings and applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any swivel fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service medium to the FNPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.
