Value Collection NFAN3F-N3M Swivel Fitting 3/8 in Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFAN3F-N3M is a pneumatic swivel fitting designed for 3/8 inch male-to-female NPT connections in compressed air and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from steel with a nickel finish, this fitting allows rotational movement at the joint, reducing hose twist and strain in active or high-cycle pneumatic lines. It weighs 0.16 pounds and ships as a single unit. Mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting where rigid connections would cause hose fatigue or misalignment. The nickel finish provides corrosion resistance in typical shop and light-industrial environments.

This swivel fitting is suited for use in pneumatic tool lines, air compressor distribution systems, and plumbing setups where hose rotation is required to prevent kinking or undue stress on the connection point. The 3/8 inch NPT thread size is a common standard in light-to-medium duty pneumatic systems found in automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and mechanical service bays. It is sold and packaged as a single fitting.

Key Features

• Swivel design allows rotational movement to reduce hose twist and wear
• 3/8 inch male x female NPT thread configuration for standard pneumatic connections
• Steel construction for durability under pressure cycling
• Nickel finish for corrosion resistance in shop environments
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy handling and installation
• UNSPSC Code 40141734 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch male x female NPT swivel fitting suitable for use in pneumatic air lines and distribution systems that use NPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pipefitters or mechanical technicians. Depressurize the pneumatic line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads in accordance with standard pneumatic plumbing practice. Do not overtighten, as steel NPT fittings can crack cast or brittle mating ports if excessive force is applied.
