Dixon Valve Coupling 1560904C Welding Hose Adapter

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 1560904C is a brass welding hose adapter designed to connect welding hoses and gas supply lines in oxy-fuel and similar welding setups. It features a 9/16 inch right-hand thread on one end and a 1/4 inch NPTF connection on the other, providing a leak-resistant threaded interface between hose assemblies and regulators, torches, or manifold fittings. The brass construction resists corrosion and handles the pressures common in welding gas distribution. At 0.1 pounds, this compact adapter measures 1.3 inches in overall length. It is a direct-fit component installed by welding technicians and pipefitters during hose assembly or system maintenance.

This adapter is suited for welding gas applications where a transition between a 9/16 inch right-hand threaded hose connection and a 1/4 inch NPTF threaded port is required. Right-hand thread designation indicates compatibility with non-fuel gas service lines, which follow conventional thread direction standards. Typical installation scenarios include regulator-to-hose connections, torch lead assemblies, and manifold distribution setups in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 9/16 inch right-hand thread for standard non-fuel gas hose connections
• 1/4 inch NPTF thread provides pressure-rated, leak-resistant pipe connection
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in gas service environments
• Compact 1.3 inch overall length minimizes connection bulk
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welding hose adapter for applications requiring a 9/16 inch right-hand thread to 1/4 inch NPTF threaded transition in welding gas supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welding technician or pipefitter familiar with welding gas distribution systems. Shut off all gas supply valves and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any hose adapters. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for gas service on NPTF connections as required by the fitting manufacturer and applicable codes. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
