I'm looking for an electrical coupling to provide 120VAC
to equipment on a rotating platform. The platform can
only turn one way, so it can't have wires up the hub.

Is there a commercial product out there, and if so, what
is it called? None of the electrical places I talked to
knew of anything like this...

What are you trying to couple? There are EMT couplings, standard and water
tight, threaded conduit couplings, three piece Erickson couplings, explosion
proof couplings...

You said "the platform can only turn one way, so it can't have wires
up the hub."

this sentence is unclear.......turning one way does not preclude
putting wires up through the hib

Does the platform do continuous 360's? Like display platform? Like
the turret in a tank?

If yes, you need a "slip ring"

These are very seldom used & most elctrivcal house's won't stock thme

cheers

My apologies.

Eventually they'd twist off.

Exactly like that.

So I've been finding out...

Thanks.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
