Review on Weatherhead 9405X6X12 Carbon Fitting Swivel by Robert Espinoza

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lets air through. good for tube fittings

Put simply, it lets air through. The fit itself is pretty good, the threads were clean and matched my air hose and reel well. The problem is with the swivel, air will flow through it unless you turn it to the right angle to try and install the seal. It's not a small leak either, if you don't point it at the right angle it can drain your tank pretty quickly. I have to use a bungee cord on my hose to put a little pressure on the swivel where it lets in the least amount of air. Leaks in this type of fitting are common and even expected at times, but at least I can find the fitting I received. did not meet reasonable expectations.

Pros
  • carbon steel for durability and high pressure burst resistance
Cons
  • thin
