Installation Video
Watch this installation video as this latest swivel design will attach to the reel's axle differently than previous versions.
Cracked Gasket?
If the expandable "frost" gasket on the 4291 swivel has cracked, but the brass housing appears to be undamaged, you can replace the gasket with our Swivel Gasket Repair Kit. (Item #1189)
Will the sharp bend restrict water flow?
The change in the shape of the garden hose swivel gooseneck does have a theoretical impact on water flow, however, as this short video demonstrates, it is so minimal that our digital flow meter with a resolution of 0.01 gallons per minute (GPM) registers only one-tenth of a gallon per minute. Not even noticable at the end of the hose.
