In hydraulic systems, every component contributes to performance, safety, and cost-efficiency. One such essential yet underrated part is the hydraulic swivel joint—especially when supplied by trusted brands like RYCO. At Gerrard Hydraulics, we’re proud to offer a wide range of RYCO hydraulic hose swivel joints that can dramatically improve system performance for customers across Perth and regional WA.
Whether you’re operating heavy machinery or maintaining a fixed plant, choosing the right hydraulic swivel joint fittings can make all the difference.
Common Problems Caused by Rigid Hose Connections
Hydraulic systems often operate in high-pressure, high-movement environments. If hoses are forced to bend and flex without proper support, it can result in:
- Premature hose failure from continuous stress
- Tangling and kinking that reduces flow efficiency
- Unnecessary use of extra hose to allow for movement
- Increased maintenance and replacement costs
The RYCO Advantage: Smart Movement with Swivel Joints
RYCO’s hydraulic swivel joints solve these issues with ease. Designed to reduce torque and stress in fluid lines, they allow hoses to twist, rotate, and move without restriction.
Here’s how RYCO swivel joint hydraulic components improve your operations:
- Increased Flexibility: RYCO joints rotate under pressure with low torque, reducing hose fatigue.
- Compact Installation: Less hose is needed when movement is controlled, freeing up valuable space.
- Reduced Maintenance: Longer hose life means less downtime and fewer replacements.
- Consistent Fluid Flow: Hoses move freely, preventing blockages and pressure drops.

Engineered for Tough Conditions
RYCO hose swivel joints are designed for performance in harsh environments. Key specifications include:
- Temperature Range: −40°C to +100°C (−40°F to +212°F)
- Fluid Compatibility: Ideal for mineral and petroleum-based hydraulic oils
These swivel joints are not meant for high-speed rotary applications or to bear structural loads—but when paired with flexible hoses, they excel at what they’re built for.
Built on Innovation and Trust
RYCO has earned global respect for its commitment to engineering excellence. Since 1946, the brand has invested in R&D to deliver high-performance hydraulic hose swivel joint systems backed by thorough quality testing.
All swivel joints are clearly marked with part numbers and batch codes for easy traceability—so you always know you’re getting authentic RYCO quality.
