Dixon Valve Coupling 13712 Npt Threaded Nipple 5 Pack

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 13712 is a threaded combination nipple designed for hose connections in fluid transfer applications. This NPT-threaded fitting creates a reliable junction between hose assemblies and threaded pipe or equipment ports. Combination nipples of this type allow a single fitting to interface with both hose and threaded connections, reducing the need for additional adapters. This package contains 5 nipples, making it suitable for jobs requiring multiple connections. Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or fluid system technicians working on industrial or commercial fluid transfer lines.

This fitting is used in fluid transfer systems where NPT-threaded connections are the standard. Typical applications include hose-to-pipe transitions in industrial plumbing, irrigation, pneumatic, or general fluid handling setups. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard North American piping systems. The 5-pack quantity suits service and maintenance work where multiple fittings are replaced or installed in a single visit.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any hose fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads per IPC guidelines before making up the connection. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as NPT tapered threads can crack fittings or damage mating ports if overloaded.
