Dixon 1565U 1.5" Nozzle Swivel – Bronze Male NPT x Hose Shank with Nitrile Seal for Petroleum & Heating Oil Hose

Bronze 1.5" Nozzle Swivel for Petroleum & Heating Oil Hose Applications

The Dixon 1565U Male x Hose Shank Nozzle Swivel is engineered to prevent hose twisting, kinking, and unnecessary stress during fuel dispensing and transfer operations. Built from durable bronze and equipped with a reliable Buna-N (nitrile rubber) seal, this swivel provides long service life in petroleum-based applications, including home heating oil and diesel transfer.

Featuring a 1½" male NPT connection on one end and a 1½" hose barb on the other, the 1565U swivel installs easily into fuel hose assemblies, improving maneuverability and reducing wear on the hose and nozzle. Its smooth rotation ensures controlled hose movement, enhancing operator safety and reducing fatigue during manual fueling tasks.

Ideal for fuel delivery trucks, home heating oil systems, agricultural tanks, industrial fueling stations, and petroleum handling applications, this swivel delivers the durability and leak-resistant performance Dixon is known for.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Dixon 1565U swivel used for?

It is used in petroleum and home heating oil systems to prevent hoses from twisting, kinking, and binding during fueling or fluid transfer.

Why is a swivel important in fuel hose assemblies?

A swivel reduces hose stress, prevents torque on the nozzle, and improves operator maneuverability—leading to:

• Longer hose life

• Reduced wear and tear

• Safer, easier handling during fueling

What hose types is this swivel compatible with?

It is designed for petroleum-based fluids, including:

• Home heating oil

• Diesel

• Light fuel oils

• Other compatible hydrocarbons

What materials is the swivel made from?

• Bronze body for corrosion resistance

• Buna-N (nitrile) seal, which performs well with petroleum products

Does Buna-N resist fuel exposure?

Yes. Buna-N is widely used for petroleum applications due to its excellent resistance to:

• Fuel oils

• Diesel

• Hydraulic oil

• Lubricants

What are the connection sizes?

• 1.5" male NPT (threaded end)

• 1.5" hose shank (for attaching hose with clamp or ferrule)

Can this swivel be used with gasoline?

While Buna-N is gasoline-compatible, always confirm local regulations and system requirements before use.

Is the swivel directional?

No, it is a straight orientation swivel, meaning it installs inline and allows rotation to prevent twisting.
