Machined from brass, this fitting accepts a 3\/8 inch hose inner diameter and uses a 3\/8 inch NPSM threaded connection for reliable sealing without the need for sealant tape on every makeup. At 2.18 inches in overall length, it is a compact fitting suited for tight plumbing and hose assembly runs. The reusable design allows field disassembly and reassembly without replacing the fitting, making it a practical choice for maintenance-heavy environments. Plumbers, industrial pipefitters, and fluid-handling technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis female stem fitting is used in low-pressure fluid transfer lines where a reusable, field-serviceable connection is preferred over a crimp-style permanent termination. Common applications include water supply hoses, compressed air hose assemblies, and general industrial fluid lines where 3\/8 inch hose ID is standard. The NPSM thread standard provides a straight mechanical thread engagement, distinguishing it from tapered NPT fittings in assemblies that require repeated breakaway and remake cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable design allows disassembly and field reassembly without replacing hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch NPSM straight threaded connection for controlled thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts 3\/8 inch hose inner diameter for direct hose coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2.18 inch overall length fits in space-constrained hose assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style reusable female stem fitting for 3\/8 inch inner diameter hose assemblies using NPSM straight thread connections in plumbing and industrial fluid transfer applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified plumbers or pipefitters familiar with hose assembly and threaded brass fittings. Depressurize and drain the hose line completely before disassembling any fitting. NPSM is a straight thread standard and does not rely on thread taper for sealing, so verify that mating components also carry NPSM designation before assembly. Avoid over-tightening brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\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: 1840606A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694590984498,"sku":"1840606A","price":27.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/052fca00632c0ea509ecd7231bbc34c2.jpg?v=1788325922","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1840606a-reusable-hose-female-stem","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
