OverviewDSTI swivel joints provide 360° rotation to maximize flexibility of discharge pipeline flow in hydraulic dredging and marine excavation. Designed for abrasive media such as slurry, mud, sand, gravel and rock, they are engineered to meet the specifications of leading dredging contractors. Typical pressure rating up to 500 PSI (35 BAR) and internal pipe diameters from 300 to 1100 mm (12–43 in). Redundant sealing and a serviceable design reduce maintenance downtime.
