écrou auto tournant


Explanation:
http://www.flexible-plomberie.com/flexible-douche-raccord-di...
"Le raccord avec écrou auto tournant s’oppose au raccord avec écrou fixe. Si ce dernier est solidaire du flexible (la torsion appliquée lors du vissage de l’écrou se répercute sur le flexible), l’écrou tournant est lui libre : lorsque l’on fixe l’écrou : ce dernier tourne indépendamment du flexible, ce qui a pour avantage de ne pas le tordre."

I believe that the correct term in English is "swivel connector" and that "swivel" on its own is shorthand or jargon.
