Ball Swivel type port for spray nozzle/wand?
Ball Swivel type port for spray nozzle/wand?
(OP)
Hi,
Does anyone know of a ball-type port or fitting, preferably with flange mounting, that could be installed in the wall of a chute to allow a hose to be installed and the spray directed by someone outside the chute?
I'm thinking of something like a spherical plain bearing, only with a flange mounting and a way of mounting a hose or wand through the center.
Thanks,
Richard

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Personally I think a hatch that you stick the hose through would be fine, but there are concerns about isolation etc, hence the swivel mount.
I'm thinking a maintenance free stainless/bronze spherical bearing with a flange mount and a 2.5" bore, and a 1.5" hose so it can accommodate a larger degree of axial movement might work.
I'll put it to the client anyway.
