What is the difference between OmniSwivel brand vs generic adapters for identical fittings?
Omniswivel brand products are available with a exceptional variety of different fittings and most are made from marine grade stainless steel. The Omniswivel brand itself is well known† for their product quality and their products are made in the USA. Popular simple adapters are also available in generic chromed brass versions that are manufactured offshore. In our experience the durability and reliability are similar for both Omniswivel brand and unbranded generic versions.
† Originally named M&J Engineering, the company rebranded as Omniswivel International after their most well known product the Omni-Swivel omni-directional 360° swivel adapter that screws in-line between the low pressure hose and any standard second stage.
