FS65 Series Standard Duty Balanced Pressure Swivel Joint, 3/4-14 NPSM Female Pipe Swivel Casing Thread To 3/4-14 Male Pipe Sleeve Thread

At 3500 PSI, the 17 in-lb torque rating is what you get with the 3/4 size in this series. That rating reflects the rotational resistance of the swivel itself, not line pressure capacity. The joint is pressure-balanced, which actually helps keep that torque number low even under load. So yes, 17 in-lbs is normal and expected at that size and pressure range.

For motion and hose management, it gives you full 360° rotation and uses a balanced pressure design, so it’s meant for demanding industrial setups where the line needs to turn without fighting you.

These swivel joints are designed for demanding industrial applications and are built to accommodate continuous 360-degree rotation, so they should be suitable for equipment that runs for extended periods.
