Fuzer manufactures swivel joints for both standard service and sour service. Our short loop swivel joints combine a compact loop design with a smooth, round bore — saving space in tight installations while keeping flow smooth and pressure drop low.
Rated for High Pressure
Rated from 6,000 PSI to 20,000 PSI CWP, Fuzer short loop swivel joints are built for demanding high-pressure applications in both standard and sour service.
Better Flow, Lower Pressure Drop
The smooth, round bore design keeps pressure drop low and minimizes turbulence, so fluid moves through the joint with less resistance.
Key Advantages
- Long service life — Made from carbon and low alloy steel, specially heat treated for controlled hardness. Dual or tri race ball bearings with carburized, hardened races (or stainless steel snap rings) deliver dependable performance over years of service.
- High strength & load capacity — Snap rings on sour service models ensure high load-bearing capacity, holding up reliably under demanding high-pressure conditions.
- Reliable dual-seal protection — A primary seal with stainless steel anti-extrusion ring plus a secondary O-ring keeps the joint leak-tight. Any leakage is diverted to the leak detection port, making seal inspection and replacement fast and predictable. The self-relieving grease retainer prevents pressure buildup inside the ball race chamber.
- Industry-standard compatibility — All union ends are interchangeable with other manufacturers' products and comply with industry standards, with pressure ratings matched to each model.
Applications
Fuzer short loop swivel joints are widely used in oil & gas drilling and production systems where high pressure and compact installation space matter:
- Drilling & mud circulation — Handles drilling mud in mud return and circulation lines with smooth flow and minimal pressure drop.
- Cementing operations — Reliable handling of cement slurry at high working pressures.
- Oil & gas transfer — Suitable for crude oil flow lines and production manifolds.
- Hydraulic systems — Compatible with hydraulic oil and water service, with seals selectable by fluid type.
- Sour (H₂S) service — H₂S-resistant models for corrosive well environments, built to NACE and API standards.
Sour Service Compliance
Fuzer sour service swivel joints are manufactured in accordance with:
- NACE MR-01-75 (latest edition) — National Association of Corrosion Engineers standard
- API RP-14E — American Petroleum Institute recommended practice
Available Styles
Fuzer manufactures swivel joints in all standard styles to suit different service conditions and installations: Style 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80.
