Pentair Kreepy Krauly Swivel Assembly | 370496Z

The Pentair 370496Z Swivel Assembly is a factory-built OEM replacement that maintains proper hose rotation on Kreepy Krauly suction cleaners, preventing tangles that disrupt movement and suction. This swivel allows each hose section to pivot freely as the cleaner moves, preserving hydraulic balance and smooth navigation across floors and walls. Constructed from UV-stable, impact-resistant material, it withstands harsh pool environments and daily operation. When an aging swivel becomes rigid or cracked, installing the 370496Z quickly restores consistent coverage and dependable debris pickup.
