I am looking to build a muzzle flush system.

Any one have a union they like or recommend?

In other applications, I've seen a lot of Dublin rotary unions used. Don't have any experance with other brands.

I personally use a Duff/North Rotary Coupling. I have been very pleased with it and it is now been use for 3 years. I have done about 1000 chambers using it with no complaints. They have a web site and MSC sells them. Mine is stainless steel has grease fitting and can be used straight or from 90 degrees bearings.
I would never go back to a nylon or plastic coupling.

Longshot, Could you advise which part# you are using in the MSC catalog? I want to go to a pressure flush system and need guidance. Jim

Hello,
I buy them from www.mcmaster.com they are all made about the same. The rotary seal wear will be detemine by how clean the fuild passing thru is.

I put a well pump filter in line. It is a 2 micron filter. I suspect it will take a few yeras to wear out.
