Dixon Valve Coupling 1800612F Reusable Hose Ferrule

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 1800612F is a reusable brass hose ferrule designed to secure and reinforce hose connections in fluid transfer applications. With a 3/8-inch hose ID and 3/4-inch hose OD, this ferrule provides a reliable mechanical grip around the hose end, maintaining a tight, leak-resistant fit at the coupling interface. At 1.1 inches in overall length and 0.1 pounds, it is compact and lightweight, making it a practical component for field repairs and new assemblies alike. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians regularly work with ferrules of this type when assembling reusable hose fittings.

This ferrule is suited for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid transfer hose assemblies where a reusable connection style is preferred over a crimp-style termination. The reusable design allows the ferrule to be removed and reinstalled during hose replacement or system reconfiguration, reducing downtime and material waste in maintenance-heavy environments. It is appropriate for both shop assembly and field service work across industrial, plumbing, and fluid handling systems.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows removal and reinstallation without replacing the ferrule
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in fluid transfer service
• 3/8-inch hose ID and 3/4-inch hose OD sizing for precise hose fitment
• 1.1-inch overall length provides adequate hose coverage at the coupling end
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, suitable for portable field repair kits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ferrule for reusable hose fittings with a 3/8-inch inner diameter and 3/4-inch outer diameter hose specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial maintenance technicians. Before servicing any hose assembly, depressurize the system completely and isolate the fluid supply. Ensure the hose OD and ID match the ferrule specifications before assembly to prevent leaks or fitting failure. Follow applicable industry standards and the fitting manufacturer's instructions for proper torque and assembly sequence.
