"live swivel" vacuum fittings

(OP)
Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make a "live swivel" vacuum fittings?  What I mean by "live swivel" is that the fitting can swivel freely when under a vacuum.

RE: "live swivel" vacuum fittings


...Short answer is yes, ....but size, connection type, pressure class (for pipeline ) number of turns per time unit, material fequirements, surrounding and temperature, and application (other use than vacuum /air) essential before advice can be given.

Google for rotary joints and see for instance

If theese are to large or not exactly what you are after, ask any outlet on advice for smaller.
