Swivel Connector for 1/4" NPT Lines

The Guardair 14NFMH05 is a steel swivel connector with a female 1/4-inch NPT inlet and a male 1/4-inch NPT outlet. Its nickel-plated finish resists corrosion in shop environments. The ball-joint design allows 360° rotation plus a 45° pivot at two points so hoses align without twisting. It measures 2.3 inches overall and ships with pre-applied thread sealant on the connections.

Fit for Flexible Hose Routing.

This connector suits installers who need articulated movement between a tool or hose and a fixed port, especially where vibration or frequent repositioning occurs. The dual pivot points absorb angular stress that would fatigue a rigid nipple. Builders assembling permanent, immobile pipe runs with no alignment variance should look at a straight rigid fitting instead.

2.3" Length Handles Tight Offsets.

The compact 2.3-inch body fits inside crowded panels or behind equipment where a longer union would foul adjacent components. Pre-applied sealant on both the female and male 1/4-inch NPT threads provides a reliable seal for typical shop air or fluid pressures without extra tape. Extremely high-pressure or exotic-media systems may demand a dedicated seal specification not covered by the factory coating.

Questions about this item

What thread size must my hose or fitting have to connect to the 1/4-inch female NPT inlet on this swivel trap?

The inlet requires a male 1/4-inch NPT thread; the outlet provides a male 1/4-inch NPT thread for the next component.

Will the 45-degree pivot and 360-degree rotation still move freely if I thread it into an older steel manifold?

Yes, the ball-joint swivel with two pivot points is designed to articulate fully regardless of the mating part's age.

How can I confirm the pre-applied thread sealant is sealing properly after I install the 2.3-inch connector?

Pressurise the line and check for leaks at both NPT joints; no leakage means the sealant is working.
