Safety Dixon's couplings and retention devices are designed to work safely for their intended use. The selection of the proper hose, coupling and retention device, and the proper application of the coupling to the hose are of utmost importance. Users must consider the size, temperature, application, media, pressure and hose and coupling manufacturer's recommendations when selecting the proper hose assembly components. Dixon recommends that all hose assemblies be tested in accordance with the Association for Rubber Products Manufacturer's (ARPM) recommendations and be inspected regularly (before each use) to ensure that they are not damaged or have become loose. Visit ARPMINC.com for more information. Where safety devices are integral to the coupling, they must be working and utilized. The use of supplementary safety devices such as safety clips or safety cables are recommended. If any problem is detected, couplings must be removed from service immediately. Dixon is available to consult, train and recommend the proper selection and application of all fittings we sell. We strongly recommend that distributors and end users make use of Dixon's Testing and Recommendation Services. Call 877.96.4966 or click dixonvalve.com to learn more.

Lubrication should be performed periodically, depending on service and operation conditions. Twice yearly is normally sufficient. All dimensions are approximate. Where critical, consult the factory. Options Available: Any combination of end configurations Alternative seal materials: FKM, PTFE, Ethylene Propylene and FDA Buna Alternative ball bearing materials: 440 stainless steel and 6 stainless steel Alternative grease materials: FDA approved/food grade and silicone Drain holes or counter balance lugs Swivels for oxygen service, steam service and submerged service can be specifically designed for unique applications (special order) Use with Hose The use of swivel joints to compensate for twist in hose (i.e. Style 0 or Style 60) should be carefully reviewed, since the hose must be sufficiently stiff to generate the torque needed to actuate the swivel before it kinks. In many installations, the twist is caused by lateral movement that can be eliminated by the use of a swivel joint that addresses the lateral movement (i.e. Style 40 or Style 0). Where this is not possible, the use of hose swivels may be a solution. Hose swivels are generally nonball bearing designs that require less torque to initiate rotation; however, hose swivels are not designed for load bearing service. Some hoses are unable to generate even the low torque required for a hose swivel, many metal hoses fall into this group. Other hoses are stiff enough to turn almost any swivel, many armored hoses fall into this group. Pricing All pricing available upon request. Please contact factory for pricing and proper equipment selection for the correct application. Every swivel joint is built to order, due to this, they are not generally returnable. Return requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Restocking charges will be applicable on all returns. Restocking charges include 5%, plus any additional costs incurred. 4 Dixon 877.96.4966

VRing Swivel Seal Replacement Procedure Remove the ball retainer screws. Add a sufficient amount of solvent into each raceway to flush out the lubricant. Rotate the sleeve, catching the balls as they fall out. When all the balls have been removed, the body and sleeve can be separated. Discard old seals. Thoroughly clean the body, sleeve retainer, spring retainer and springs. * 5Insert sleeve into body, compressing swivel joint together until ball races of body and sleeve are in alignment (do not rotate either unit while compressing). Care should be taken to avoid pinching or scoring of V rings. Drop balls into raceway holes, rotating the sleeve slowly as you load. To make space for all the balls, insert a screw driver into the raceway while continuing to rotate the sleeve in one direction (be careful not to damage the threads). This will cause the balls to jam up, making room for the remaining balls. Now reverse the rotation of the sleeve and insert the remaining balls. Lubricate the body unit with a Moly lubricant or equivalent. 6Reinstall ball retainer screws until tight. If this interferes with the smooth rotation of the ball bearings, then back off /8 /4 turn. A thread locking sealant is recommended to prevent screws from backing off. After pressure testing, the unit is ready for installation. Place the assembled spring retainer unit (spring end first) into the body. Place the set of V rings onto the spring retainer. Be sure V rings are installed with the sealing lips facing toward the retainer. Lubricate the body and seals with a Moly lubricant or equivalent. * The last coil of the springs has been upset (OD slightly larger). When upset end is inserted into the holes provided in the spring retainer, the springs remain secure. 4Set the dust seal into O ring groove on the sleeve. Place the seal retainer on the sleeve with the grooved end facing the V rings. Lubricate the sleeve with grease. Caution: Body and sleeve are matched during manufacturing. Do not mix components with other units. 8 Dixon 877.96.4966

ORing Swivel Seal Replacement Procedure Note: Instructions not for assembly with springloaded PTFE pressure seal. Consult the factory. Remove the ball retainer screws. Add a sufficient amount of solvent into each raceway to flush out the lubricant. Rotate the sleeve, catching the balls as they fall out. When all the balls have been removed, the body and sleeve can be separated. Discard old seals. Thoroughly clean the body and sleeve. 4Insert the sleeve into the body, slowly rotate the sleeve while inserting into the body. Install the new O rings on the sleeve, dust seal to the rear, product (pressure) seal up front. 5When the sleeve is fully inserted, feed the ball bearings into the raceways while rotating the sleeve. To make space for all the balls, insert a screw driver into the raceway, while continuing to rotate the sleeve in one direction (be careful not to damage the threads). This will cause the balls to jam up, making room for the remaining balls. Now reverse rotation of sleeve and insert the remaining balls. Lubricate the body and the sleeve with grease. 8 Dixon 877.96.4966 6Reinstall ball retainer screws until tight. If this interferes with the smooth rotation of the ball bearings, then back off /8 /4 turn. A thread locking sealant is recommended to prevent screws from backing off. After pressure testing, the unit is ready for installation. Caution: Body and sleeve are matched during manufacturing. Do not mix components with other units.

Corrosion Resistance of Coupling Material Caution The following data has been compiled from generally available sources and should not be relied upon without consulting and following the specific recommendations of the manufacturer regarding particular coupling materials. Ratings Metal excellent good fair not recommended _ contact factory NonMetal A acceptable not recommended _ contact factory Gasket/Seal Material T PTFE V FKM E EPDM, EPR N Neoprene B Buna N Note:. Ratings given are based at 70 F. Chemical compatibility varies greatly with temperature. For applications at temperatures other than 70 F, contact the factory for recommendations.. Gasket / seal materials are not necessarily listed in order of preference.. Chemical resistance of a material does not necessarily indicate the suitability of a fitting in a given application due to variables such as improper clamp and coupling application, special hose construction, gasket material, etc. Special caution should be taken when handling hazardous materials. 4 Dixon 877.96.4966
