Deublin or Mosmatic Swivels

[washer377]

I am in the market for new swivels as the ones I have now are not lasting me long enough. I am looking between Deublin or Mosmatic, can anyone share preferences between the two? Or any other brands that would be best?

Mosmatic is very good. Expensive.

Deublin are also very good. Very very expensive to outfit a whole site with them though.

Both are way better than a cheap $7 swivel.

What kind of swivel are we talking about and what are you using them for?

I have had great results with Mosmatic

It sounds like you might be asking about Self Serve hose swivels.

Mosmatic.

If you are asking about Automatic Bay swivels......BIG BOY.

I use a 3/4" in my auto bay, and the Big Boy's are rebuildable. I measured the ORings with a micrometer, and ordered bulk ORings from Orings.com. I can reseal a swivel for less than a dollar. FWIW, the 3/4" uses R20-2rs bearings. I find them on sale, and replace the bearings whenever I replace the seals.

You'll need to build or buy a spanner wrench to get the end caps off.

Thanks for the helpful response Rudy! May I ask what Automatic system you use?

Thanks for the response! How long do they usually last you, and do you use them in a SS or IBA?

We use mosmatic, in our automatic, last a long time. Pricey yes, but they seem worth it. With most things you get what you pay for.

My automatic is an ancient ProEquipment machine.....

How long do they typically last you? Thanks so much for your help everyone!

 

[Car Wash Man]

There are four of them in our wash, I would each swivel lasts us about a year as I am probably replacing one every three months.

SS and they last longer than I can remember. I use them with the Comfort hose so I need a really good swivel because the hose is very light weight
