Straight Swivel for 3/8 in Hose
The ZORO SELECT 5A246 is a brass straight swivel fitting designed for pneumatic lines. It connects a 3/8 in hose barb on one end to a 5/8"-18 UNF inverted flare thread on the other. The reusable construction suits workshop air systems and tool connections.
Brass Construction Handles 250 psi
The H59 brass body resists corrosion and handles a working pressure of 250 psi in normal use. The straight profile keeps flow restriction low while the swivel action prevents hose twist during operation. No moving seals are exposed to external contaminants.
5/8"-18 UNF Thread Decides Fit
This fitting only matches ports cut to a 5/8"-18 UNF inverted flare specification. Builders using NPT, BSP or metric threads cannot use it without an adapter. The 3/8 in barb suits hose with the same inside diameter.

Questions about this item
How do I install the straight swivel onto a 3/8 inch hose and 5/8"-18 UNF port without leaking?
Push the barb fully onto the hose until seated, secure with a proper clamp, then thread the inverted flare end into the 5/8"-18 UNF port using a 3/4 inch wrench on the hex head. Tighten to a firm metal-to-metal seal without over-torquing the brass.
What maintenance or replacement will the brass swivel need over time?
Inspect the hose barb and inverted flare faces for corrosion or deformation each time the line is disconnected. Replace the fitting if the brass shows cracking, the swivel action binds, or the 250 psi seal no longer holds.
What is the first limit reached when the fitting runs continuously at its 250 psi rating?
The brass body and H59 alloy will creep under sustained 250 psi pressure and heat, so the pressure seal at the inverted flare or barb interface typically fails before the threads strip.
