Ideal for use in quick deployment of hose without rolling or twisting, the Storz x Rocker Lug Swivel Female Thread is hard anodized and powder coated for corrosion resistance and protection. A swivel fitting is a hose connection that prevents kinks by swiveling or turning the hose without affecting the connection of the hose to the water source. This stops the hose from kinking when in use and helps to unkink it when you first walk out the hose. The Storz x Rocker Lug Swivel features raised ridges to allow for better grip when connecting or disconnecting couplings.

Made from custom manufactured, aircraft grade 6061-T6 seamless, aluminum extrusions, this fitting uses an National Hose Thread (NH) thread type. The female thread diameter ranges from 2.5” to 8” and the Storz diameter ranges from 4” to 12”.
