Dixon Valve Coupling 12316 Brass Hose Coupler 3/4x1/2

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 12316 is a brass garden hose coupler supplied as a matched male and female standard shank set. The set is designed to create a secure, leak-resistant connection at a 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch thread interface. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor and irrigation environments. This coupler set is typically installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or experienced service personnel working on hose-bib and garden hose supply lines. Each package contains two pieces, covering both the male and female halves needed for a complete connection.

This coupler set is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving standard garden hose assemblies, outdoor faucet connections, and low-pressure irrigation supply lines. The standard shank configuration is a common design used across a wide range of hose-end fittings and is intended for systems operating at typical residential hose-line pressures. It is a practical replacement or add-on fitting for irrigation maintenance kits and hose repair work.

Installation Notes

Apply thread sealant tape to NPT threads per standard plumbing practice and hand-tighten before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading brass fittings. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes when connecting to potable water supply lines.
