Light Duty Water Swivel

Acker low pressure water swivels are designed for general field conditions and provide good thrust at high or low speeds. Packing arrangements help insure against leakage. A built-in bail aids in handling.

Note: For long strings of tools and high pressures, Acker heavy duty swivels are recommended.

Side Feed Water Swivel

For drill units not equipped with a hollow spindle, the Side Feed Swivel adapts to the bottom of the Kelly. Water is fed through a side port and through the drill rods. The swivel is ideal for high or low speed rotation.

Heavy Duty Water Swivel

A water swivel connects to the top of the drill rods and provides a water tight rotating joint that allows water under pressure to be pumped to the bottom of the drill string while the drill tools are rotating. Swivels are designed to handle a variety of drilling requirements. Lifting capacities and pressure ratings should be considered when making a selection.

The Acker heavy-duty water swivel is designed for deep hole drilling using heavy rods and either fresh water or drilling muds at high pressures. The swivel is easy to service with a grease fitting for internal lubrication.
