It features a 1\/4 inch NPTF thread for a dry-seal threaded connection and fits a 1\/2 inch hose inner diameter. The reusable design allows the stem to be removed and reinstalled without replacing the entire assembly, making it a practical choice for maintenance-heavy environments. This fitting is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial fluid-system technicians working on hose assemblies in hydraulic, pneumatic, water, or general-purpose fluid lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis male stem fitting is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where hose assemblies require a reliable threaded connection point. It is a common component in plumbing maintenance kits, fluid transfer rigs, and irrigation or pressure-washing setups where 1\/2 inch hose ID and 1\/4 inch NPTF thread sizing apply. The reusable construction makes it appropriate for field repair and scheduled maintenance scenarios where minimizing component waste and downtime is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable design allows reinstallation without replacing the full hose assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPTF dry-seal thread provides a pressure-tight connection without sealant tape on all applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1\/2 inch hose inner diameter for a secure, low-profile stem engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds, suitable for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40141734 for procurement and catalog alignment in commercial purchasing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hose assemblies requiring a 1\/4 inch NPTF male stem with a 1\/2 inch hose ID connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter familiar with NPTF threaded fittings and hose assembly procedures. Depressurize and drain the hose or line completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but inspect thread condition before assembly and ensure the stem is fully seated in the hose ID before securing the coupling. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for the specific fluid type and pressure rating of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\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: 1820804S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716489838898,"sku":"1820804S","price":31.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fb1f67ffafe79e86daa43d4dc1387ea0.jpg?v=1788526765","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1820804s-male-stem-1-4-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
