370496Z | Pentair Kreepy Krauly Swivel Assembly

The Pentair 370496Z Swivel Assembly is the OEM replacement swivel used on the Kreepy Krauly suction-side cleaner hose to maintain full rotation and smooth movement during operation. This swivel prevents hose tangling by allowing each section to rotate freely as the cleaner travels across the pool floor and walls. Built from durable, UV-resistant materials designed for constant water exposure, the 370496Z restores proper mobility and suction efficiency when the original swivel becomes stiff, cracked, or worn. It installs quickly onto the hose, helping the cleaner maintain consistent coverage and reliable debris pickup.

Highlights

• Restores Full Hose Rotation: Allows each hose section to pivot freely, preventing tight coils or tangling that limit cleaner movement and reduce cleaning coverage.

• Ensures Smooth Cleaner Navigation: Maintains proper hydraulic balance by keeping the hose flexible as the cleaner moves across floors, walls, and tight pool areas.

• OEM Fit for Kreepy Krauly Models: Designed to match the exact swivel used on modern Kreepy Krauly suction cleaners, ensuring proper hose alignment and suction performance.

• Durable, Pool-Grade Construction: Made from impact-resistant, UV-stable plastic engineered to withstand daily exposure to water, chemicals, and sunlight.

• Quick, Tool-Free Installation: Snaps into the existing hose section for a fast service solution, ideal for routine maintenance or full hose rebuilds.

Compatibility

• Pentair Kreepy Krauly Pool Cleaners (2013 and Later)
