ABSTRACT:
A swivel connector is provided for use in an oxygen line to prevent kinking of the oxygen line. The swivel connector has a body with an elongated cylindrical cavity adapted to receive an elongated hollow sleeve. The hollow sleeve has a flange near the end of the sleeve that is inserted into the cavity. A press fit keeper connects firmly to the body and has an inner bore which encircles the sleeve but which provides clearance between the keeper and the sleeve. An O-ring seal is provided between the sleeve and the body. The sleeve is therefore able to freely rotate relative to the body, preventing the oxygen hose from kinking.
