Abstract: The hydraulic swivel connector generally consists of a swivel spud that includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The exterior surface of the swivel spud preferably includes a first region with a relatively small diameter, a second region having a diameter somewhat greater than the diameter of the first region, and a third region having a diameter somewhat larger than the second diameter of the exterior surface of the swivel spud. The second region preferably comprises an externally disposed circumferential groove adapted to receive a snap ring. The hydraulic swivel connector also includes a connector end component that includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The connector end component is adapted to receive at least a portion of the swivel spud.
