Abstract

A swivel joint includes a pipe part and a swivel nut. The pipe part has a first end and a second end and the swivel nut has a first end and a second end. The swivel nut is positioned on the pipe part such that the first end of the swivel nut forms a swivel connection with the first end of the pipe part. The swivel nut and the pipe part include shoulders against each other for preventing separation of the swivel nut from the pipe part. The swivel nut is made such that the swivel nut and the pipe part are connected together by pushing the first end of the swivel nut towards the first end of the pipe part whereby the swivel nut and the pipe part are connected by a snap joint.
