It features a hose barb gasket seat on one end and a female NPSM swivel on the other, allowing connection to 1\/2-inch inside diameter hose with a threaded female fitting. The brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and durability under moderate pressure. The swivel design eases installation by letting the fitting rotate during hand-tightening without twisting the hose. This fitting is appropriate for plumbing, irrigation, and general industrial fluid handling work installed by licensed plumbers and qualified mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation lines, and fluid transfer setups where a 1\/2-inch hose barb to female NPSM threaded connection is required. The swivel end reduces torque stress on the hose during assembly and is compatible with standard 1\/2-inch inside diameter flexible hose. It is a common component in water supply, wash-down, and general-purpose fluid handling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHose barb gasket seat by female NPSM swivel end connection for secure, flexible-hose attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in fluid transfer service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwivel fitting design reduces hose twisting and simplifies hand-tight installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch thread size with NPSM thread standard for compatibility with standard female threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head size of 0.9375 inches allows use of standard open-end or adjustable wrench for final tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1\/2-inch inside diameter flexible hose with a female NPSM threaded port connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any hose fitting. Inspect the gasket seat and swivel for damage before assembly, and do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Ensure the hose barb is fully seated and secured with an appropriate clamp rated for the application pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb Gasket Seat x Female NPSM Swivel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIXON VALVE COUPLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1260808C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692742607154,"sku":"1260808C","price":19.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f02c9e547170d30caf37adb15be5ef1c.jpg?v=1788302072","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1260808c-barbed-hose-fitting-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
