Shurflo 12mm Straight Nylon Swivel Hose Fitting 1/2in Female Thread for Boat Use RWB2963

Shurflo 12mm Straight Nylon Swivel Hose Fitting 1/2in Female Thread for Boat Use

This Shurflo straight swivel hose fitting combines a 1/2 inch female thread with a 12mm (1/2 inch) hose connection. The nylon fitting has a wing nut for hand tightening, giving a practical way to assemble a compatible threaded hose connection. The swivel arrangement allows the nut to be turned during assembly without requiring the complete hose run to rotate with it. The straight body needs to be selected to suit the direction and clearance of the planned hose route. The female thread and hose end are separate selection points, so check each against the equipment and hose rather than assuming that one nominal size describes the entire fitting.

Choosing and using this product

Confirm that the receiving equipment accepts this Shurflo 1/2 inch female swivel connection and that the hose is suitable for the 12mm end. Shurflo specifies that thread tape must not be used with these hose fittings. Follow the equipment and fitting instructions for the sealing arrangement and hand tightening, and avoid substituting a general threaded-plumbing method without checking compatibility. Arrange the hose so the fitting can sit naturally against its mating connection without sideways load. Allow room around the wing nut for assembly and later removal, as well as enough straight hose for a sound hose-tail connection. A straight fitting and an elbow can create different clearance needs, so compare the installed route before choosing the version. Check any required pressure, temperature and fluid suitability against the equipment specification; the nylon material alone is not a rating. After assembly, test the system as directed by its manufacturer, inspect the joint and hose connection for leaks, and keep access available for servicing or replacing the hose.
