Dixon Valve Coupling 2800404C Female Hose Connector Brass

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 2800404C is a barbed push-on hose female connector designed for fluid transfer applications in plumbing, industrial, and general-purpose hose systems. Machined from brass, this fitting features a 1/4 inch NPSM threaded connection on one end and a 1/4 inch barb on the other, allowing a hose to be pushed on and secured without additional fittings. It is rated for pressures up to 350 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid and low-pressure pneumatic service. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in both commercial and residential settings.

This connector is appropriate for use in residential plumbing systems, light industrial fluid lines, irrigation assemblies, and equipment where a threaded port must transition to a barbed hose connection. The 1/4 inch NPSM thread mates with standard straight mechanical pipe thread fittings. The barb end accepts standard 1/4 inch inside diameter hose. Its compact length of 1.47 inches makes it a practical choice in tight plumbing configurations where space is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in compliance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to the NPSM threads and hand-tighten before using a wrench to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing the brass fitting. Ensure the hose is fully seated over the barb before returning the line to service.
