An apparatus for supplying fluids to a converter has a rotary joint coupled to a trunion shaft. One end of the rotary joint is connected to fluid supply pipes and the other end is connected to fluid conduits so as to communicate with tuyeres at the bottom of the converter. The rotary joint comprises a fixed casting and a rotary assembly, that is fitted sealed and rotatably in the casting and is connected to the turnion shaft. The rotary assembly has a cylindrical member fitting the casting. The fluid supply pipes are attached to the casting so as to communicate with the communication grooves, and the fluid conduits are attahced to the exposed part of the cylindrical member so as to communicate with the passageway.
