173 – Single Swivel Combination

A versatile swivel fitting, useful for awkward applications where angles cannot be accommodated by adjustable angle fittings. The through tube (sloping in photo) cannot be joined within the fitting. The assembly is riveted together, although items can be supplied separately as 173M and173F.

This fitting is not designed to withstand lateral loading. An entire structure should not be built only using swivel fittings, this would be unstable.

Warning: To provide sufficient stability, whole structures must not be made from swivel fittings alone.
