Dixon Valve Coupling 2800402C Female Hose Connector

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 2800402C is a barbed push-on hose female connector designed for use in fluid transfer and pneumatic hose assemblies. Machined from brass, this fitting features a 1/8 inch NPSM threaded connection on one end and a 1/4 inch barb on the hose end, allowing a secure push-on hose attachment without clamps in many low-pressure applications. Rated for working pressures up to 350 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F, it suits a broad range of light industrial, plumbing, and pneumatic service conditions. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians in fluid and air line assemblies.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded port must transition to a barbed hose connection. Typical install scenarios include compressed air lines, water service, and fuel or lubricant transfer systems using 1/4 inch inside diameter flexible hose. The 1/8 inch NPSM thread mates with standard straight mechanical pipe threads found on fittings, manifolds, valves, and equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or maintenance technician familiar with threaded pipe fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before installing or removing any fitting. NPSM is a straight thread requiring a sealing element such as an O-ring or thread sealant tape at the joint. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 1/4 inch barb before pushing the hose onto the fitting to ensure a leak-free connection.
