Dixon Valve Coupling 10680 Hose Coupling 1/4 Npt Male Iron 5pk

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 10680 is a universal hose coupling with male NPT ends, constructed from malleable iron for durability in demanding service environments. It features a 1/4 inch NPT thread standard, making it compatible with common hose and pipe assemblies used in industrial and trade applications. This coupling is sold in a package of five units, providing enough hardware for multiple connections in a single order. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install these fittings in compressed air, water, and general fluid transfer systems where a reliable threaded hose end connection is required.

This coupling is suited for residential and commercial applications where NPT-threaded hose ends are needed to connect flexible hose lines to piping systems. Typical install scenarios include compressed air distribution, general-purpose fluid lines, and maintenance or repair tasks requiring a standard male NPT hose end. The universal design accommodates a range of hose and pipe configurations that accept 1/4 inch NPT male fittings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 1/4 inch NPT male ends for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded hose and pipe connections
• Universal hose coupling design suitable for a wide range of fluid transfer applications
• Sold in a package of five units for efficient stocking and multi-connection jobs
• UNSPSC Code 40141734 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for systems with 1/4 inch NPT-threaded hose connections in compressed air, water, and general fluid transfer service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any hose coupling. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads as appropriate for the fluid service. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack if excessive force is applied.
