Grease Gun Swivel 90 Deg
The Westward 21EM18 is a 90-degree grease gun swivel designed for lubrication points that are difficult to reach directly. It connects to standard 1/8 inch fittings and suits maintenance technicians who need flexible access during routine servicing. The white zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance in workshop environments. This component is not for systems requiring straight inline connections or larger thread sizes.
6000 psi Operating Pressure Limit
The swivel is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 6000 psi when dispensing greases. Exceeding this limit risks seal failure or structural damage to the steel body. Wetted materials include Buna-N, PTFE and steel, which determine fluid compatibility. The FNPT inlet and NPT outlet both use 1/8 inch connections. This part is not for hydraulic oils, solvents or media incompatible with the listed wetted materials.
Simple Threaded Installation
Installation requires threading the FNPT inlet onto the grease gun and the NPT outlet onto the accessory or hose. Clean threads and proper sealant prevent leaks at the 1/8 inch connections. The 90-degree angle reduces hose strain but adds a fixed offset that may interfere with tight clearances. Common issues include cross-threading the small ports or using the wrong sealant for the Buna-N and PTFE seals. This swivel is not for tool-free quick-connect systems.

Questions about this item
Which connection size should I choose for my grease gun setup?
The swivel features 1/8 in FNPT inlet and NPT outlet connections, so select it when your gun and hose both use 1/8 in NPT threads.
What does the 6000 psi rating mean during daily use?
It indicates the swivel can handle up to 6000 psi operating pressure, allowing it to withstand the high pressures generated by manual or powered grease guns without leaking.
How does the 90 degree angle affect hose routing?
The fixed 90 degree bend redirects the hose at a right angle, reducing strain on the fitting and keeping the hose closer to the gun body in tight work areas.
