Dixon Valve Coupling 1780505C Brass Hose Barb Clamp 5/16 in

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 1780505C is a brass double bolt hose barb clamp designed to secure hose connections at fittings with a 5/16 inch inside diameter. The double bolt design distributes clamping force evenly across the hose, reducing the risk of hose distortion or leakage at the barb. With a barb size of 0.355 inches and an overall length of 2.06 inches, this clamp suits tight installations where a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians install this type of clamp on fluid transfer, pneumatic, and low-pressure hydraulic lines.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where hose barb fittings are used on water, air, or fluid transfer lines. The brass construction makes it appropriate for environments where ferrous hardware would be susceptible to corrosion. It is commonly installed on hose-to-barb connections in plumbing, irrigation, HVAC condensate lines, and general equipment maintenance. Each package contains one clamp, making it easy to order in exact quantities for service calls or repair jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service clamp for hose barb connections with a 5/16 inch inside diameter on low-pressure fluid, air, or water lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians. Before installing, depressurize and drain the line to prevent fluid release during service. Seat the hose fully onto the barb fitting before positioning the clamp, and tighten both bolts evenly to avoid uneven seating. Verify the connection is leak-free before returning the system to service.
