GROVE
TWO PORT WATER SWIVEL
Description
The 2 port water swivel allows engine coolant to flow from
the carrier-mounted engine to the hot water heater in the
operator’s cab. Through an internally drilled passage in the
12 port hydraulic swivel spool, coolant is transferred to a
circumferential groove on the water spool exterior. This
groove corresponds with a mating port on the outer case of
the water swivel. The spool grooves are separated by a quad
ring/telflon bronze ring seal. The lip seal prevents coolant
from leaking externally. Return engine coolant flow from the
hot water heater is accomplished in the same manner
through the opposite port of the water swivel.
