Abstract
A dual hose swivel has one end connected to a gasoline dispensing nozzle and its other end connected to a liquid supply hose and a vapor recovery hose. The swivel has a main body rotatably supported by the nozzle for rotation about a first axis and a pair of swivel tails, which are connected to each other, rotatably supported by the main body for rotation about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. Each of the swivel tails has one of the hoses connected to a separate threaded passage. The main body can rotate through 360.degree. relative to the nozzle body and the swivel tails can rotate together about the second axis through at least 180.degree..
