Abstract
A swivel fitting arrangement for use in a pressurized fluid line, especially a high pressure, high flow rate line, is disclosed herein and utilizes first and second adjacent sections of the line in coaxial and unconnected relationship to one another so as to define an axial joint between the two sections and such that the first section is able to rotate aboout its axis relative to the second section. The arrangement also includes means for supporting the two line sections in their coaxial and unconnected relationship with one another and a tubular sealing member disposed coaxially within the line and across the axial joint between and directly against the adjacent sections and joint for internally sealing the joint while allowing fluid within the line to pass from one of the sections to the other.
