Cox 434-1 Hose Reel Swivel (1/2")

Coxreels 434-1 Brass 90° Hose Reel Swivel – 1/2" FNPT with Viton Seals

The Coxreels 434-1 Brass Hose Reel Swivel is a 90-degree replacement swivel designed for compatible Coxreels hose reels. Featuring a machined brass body, 1/2-inch female NPT inlet and outlet connections, and Viton (FKM) seals, this swivel allows fluid to pass between the stationary supply connection and rotating hose reel assembly.

Rated for operating pressures up to 3,000 PSI, the Coxreels 434-1 is designed for demanding hose reel applications where reliable fluid transfer and a properly selected seal material are important.

Unlike the standard Coxreels 434 swivel, which uses nitrile seals, the 434-1 features Viton seals. This makes it an option for applications requiring FKM seal properties, provided the fluid, temperature, and operating conditions are compatible.

Key Features & Benefits

• 90-Degree Swivel Design: Allows fluid to pass through the swivel as the hose reel rotates.
• Viton (FKM) Seals: Provides an alternative sealing material to the nitrile seals used in the standard Coxreels 434.
• Brass Construction: Machined brass body for durable hose reel service.
• 1/2" Female NPT Connections: Features 1/2"-14 FNPT threads on both the inlet and outlet.
• 3,000 PSI Maximum Pressure: Suitable for compatible systems operating within the swivel's rated pressure limits.
• Replacement Reel Component: Allows replacement of a damaged or worn swivel without replacing the entire hose reel.
• Serviceable Seals: A corresponding Coxreels 434-1 seal kit is available separately.

Product Specifications

Coxreels 434 vs. 434-1: What's the Difference?

Both models feature brass construction, a 90-degree fluid path, and 1/2-inch female NPT connections. The primary difference is the seal material.

Important: Select the swivel based on the required seal material, fluid compatibility, and operating conditions. Viton is not universally compatible with every chemical or fluid. Always verify compatibility before installation.

Hose Reel Compatibility

The Coxreels 434-1 is listed for use with selected configurations in the following Coxreels reel families:

• 1125 Series
• EN Series
• P Series
• S Series
• SG Series
• T Series
• XTM Series

Fitment Warning: Not every reel in these families uses the same swivel. Different reel models may require a different swivel body, thread size, pressure rating, or seal material.

Confirm your complete Coxreels model number and existing swivel part number before ordering.

When Should You Replace a Hose Reel Swivel?

The swivel is an important fluid-handling component that allows a hose reel to rotate while remaining connected to the supply line.

Common reasons to inspect or replace a swivel include:

• Fluid leaking from the swivel body or rotating connection
• Damaged or worn internal seals
• Swivel binding or difficulty rotating
• Damaged inlet or outlet threads
• Physical damage to the swivel housing
• Replacing an existing swivel with a compatible FKM-sealed version

If only the internal seals are worn and the swivel body remains serviceable, a seal kit may be a more economical repair option.

Replacement Seal Kit

The Coxreels 434-1-SEALKIT is the corresponding seal kit for the 434-1 swivel.

Replacing worn seals may help restore operation when the swivel body and internal sealing surfaces remain in good condition.

Note: The seal kit is sold separately and is not included with this complete replacement swivel.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Confirm Compatibility: Verify the reel model, swivel part number, connection size, and seal material.
2. Depressurize the System: Shut down the equipment and fully relieve fluid pressure before removing the swivel.
3. Inspect Connections: Check the mating fittings, threads, and surrounding components for wear or damage.
4. Install the Replacement: Follow the applicable Coxreels service instructions and use thread sealing methods appropriate for the system.
5. Check Operation: Inspect for leaks and verify smooth reel rotation before returning the equipment to service.

Safety Note: Never disconnect or service a pressurized hose reel swivel. Ensure the selected swivel and all other system components are rated for the intended pressure, temperature, and fluid.
