Swivel Fittings

Description

Foster Swivel Fittings improve maneuverability and ergonomics when using air tools and spray guns. Functioning like a universal joint, swivel fittings allow the hose to remain vertical at all times, which reduces operator fatigue, repetitive motion trauma, and fitting chafe. The non-marring series (plastic encapsulated) is ideal for applications where non-marring and scratch reduction is needed.
