Coxreels has improved its spring-driven 1 1/4-inch and 1 1/2-inch SLPL models. Prior to this update, these models of the SLPL came standard with Coxreels’ aluminum inline swivel. Optional on all of these models was the outsourced 90-degree swivel. For customers needing a stainless-steel fluid path, the outsourced 90-degree stainless-steel swivel was the only option.
Coxreels eliminated the aluminum inline swivel on five SLPL models (725, 750, 825, 835 and 850) and incorporated a nickel-plated steel inline swivel (from the 1185-Series). This swivel increases the pressure rating of the inline plumbing from 250 psi to 1500 psi. The nickel-plated steel is also more rugged and durable than the aluminum swivel that it replaces. The new swivel includes Coxreels multi-lobe seals for much improved leak integrity.
The new inline swivel is also available in stainless steel, which gives customers a choice with their stainless-steel fluid path requirements. The stainless-steel inline swivel fluid path is more cost-effective than the 90-degree swivel stainless-steel fluid path. The inline swivel also boasts a more efficient, less-restrictive flow path than the 90-degree swivel.
The axle plumbing in both standard carbon-steel models and optional stainless-steel models was upgraded as well. The 135-degree elbow on the axle riser has been replaced with the Coxreels swept riser design (also from the 1185-Series). The swept riser design offers a less-restrictive flow path for improved flow efficiency.
