Swivel Disconnects – Meggitt Fuelling

F582 – F584 – F596 – F597

Meggitt nozzles, swivels and disconnects, are designed to provide an ability to custom build a nozzle system to meet a customer’s requirements.

The swivel assemblies used on the F116 and F117 nozzles are available in two basic sizes with various inlet configurations. The F582 series swivels supersede Meggitt series F501, F506, F577, F578 and F580.

All Meggitt swivels utilize a ball-lock concept that has proven successful through many years of service. Each swivel assembly consists of a body with its inlet thread and ball cage; locking sleeve and screws; safety lock ring; balls; retaining ring; aluminum coupling with replaceable CRES wire races; seal and bearing. All swivel assemblies of current manufacture are equipped with a newly designed heavy duty coupling and sleeve.The F597 swivel is designed to mate with the F239 and F240 hydrant couplers. Optional outlet configurations allow the use of various threads and hose sizes.

The F596 underwing nozzle self-sealing quick disconnect swivel and strainer assembly was designed specifically for use with Meggitt Military Standard (MS29520), and competitors’ underwing refueling nozzles to allow ready access to the strainer with minimum spillage.

The snap action valve automatically closes if the quick disconnect is manually actuated or becomes accidentally disconnected, preventing loss of fuel from the delivery hose. The lightweight assembly is compact and ruggedly constructed for heavy duty service. Flow characteristics result in extremely low pressure loss to 1000 USGPM.The F596 is available in two to three-inch NPT or BSP pipe female hose end sizes, and utilizes the same three-inch coupling with replaceable ORES wire races and strainer as the F584 swivel.
