The Complete Grout Swivel is a precision swivel joint engineered for fluid-flow systems in grouting, cementitious injection, and pressure grout applications. It allows fluid or grout to rotate freely while the inlet/outlet remains stationary, reducing hose torque, eliminating kinks and improving delivery reliability in high-pressure environments.

Design:

The swivel is built with a heavy-duty bearing assembly and internal fluid passages designed for grout, cementitious slurries or high-viscosity injection fluids.
Sealing and bearing design provides low-leak, high-life operation under cyclic rotation, pressured flow and abrasive service.
The design usually includes a stator housing and rotating shaft section, with internal seals, anti-extrusion rings (for heavy solids), and hardened bearing surfaces to cope with abrasive entrained particles in grout streams. For example, generic heavy duty swivel joints feature heat-treated material, dual-purpose packing composed of an anti-extrusion ring and precision hardened bearing surfaces as noted in swivel joint manufacturer specs.
Flow path is smooth-bore to minimize pressure drop. Seal/extrusion zones are minimized and grease/zerk lubrication ports are often provided for maintenance.

Applications:The Complete Grout Swivel is suitable for a variety of demanding fluid-flow or grout-injection applications.

Grout pumps for structural repair, underpinning or void-filling: swivel mounted at the end of the manifold or hose to allow articulation while pumping grout.
Cementitious or epoxy injection systems for columns, base plates, anchor bolts, where high-pressure grout must be delivered through a rotating hose connection.
Shotcrete or sprayed grout systems where the hose/nozzle needs to rotate freely while remaining connected to the machine, avoiding hose twist and improving operator ergonomics.
Any application where highpressure or highvolume grout (cement, epoxy, slurry with aggregate) flows and articulation is required the swivel absorbs the rotational stress rather than the hose/hose fitting.
Rental or mobile grout systems where quick setup and maintenance are essential the complete kit means minimal on-site assembly, fewer hose restrictions, and reduced downtime.

Materials:A robust Complete Grout Swivel will typically incorporate the following materials and features:

Housing / body: Forged or machined carbon steel or alloy steel (often heat-treated) to withstand high pressures and abrasive flow.
Shaft / bore: Hardened steel (often chromium or nitrided) with smooth internal bore finish to minimize friction, wear, pressure drop and leakage.
Bearings: Heavy-duty bearings (ball or roller) mounted between housing and rotating element to carry radial and thrust loads from hose torque.
Seals / packing: Dual-purpose packing with anti-extrusion rings (to prevent seal extrusion under pressure) and active seal elements. The use of anti-extrusion rings is noted in heavy-duty swivel joint specs.
Grease lubrication ports (zerks): For periodic maintenance to extend bearing life and prevent ingress of abrasive grit.
End connections: Threaded or flanged ports (NPT, BSP, welded, or flange) compatible with the pump/hose assembly.
Flow path finish: Smooth bore internal surfaces to reduce wear from particulates in grout.
Optionally corrosion-resistant materials (for marine or chemical grout systems) like stainless steel, PTFE seals, etc.

Configurations:Thread: R32, R38 or T38
