MULTI-SWIVEL CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING A FLUID SOURCE TO A FLUID OPERATED TOOL

摘要

A multi-swivel connector for connecting a fluid operated tool, such as a hydraulic torque wrench, to a hydraulic pump. The connector has a post for connection to a tool and having a first axis. There is a banjo that is rotatably connected to the post. The banjo has a second axis perpendicular to said first axis. The connector also has a yoke, rotatably connected to the banjo and connected to hydraulic lines from the pump. A fluid line formed as an elongate aperture extending through the post, banjo and yoke allows fluid to pass from the pump to the tool. The banjo is able to rotate about post by more than 360° and said yoke is able to tilt relative to the banjo by less than 180°.
