Abstract
A swivel mount for the outlet conduit of a pressure vessel is disclosed that can be rotated to a desired position to provide access to a component attached to the mount without interrupting the flow of material from the pressure vessel to the mount and the component. The mount includes a hollow stem that is surrounded by and is in rotational sealing engagement with a sleeve. A sealed chamber is formed between the sleeve and the stem that receives material from the outlet conduit of the pressure vessel through a laterl aperture in the stem. The sleeve itself has at least one outlet conduit that is joined to the chamber and can direct material from the chamber to the component.
