Dixon Valve Coupling 2860409C Male Hose Connector Brass

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 2860409C is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for secure, leak-resistant hose connections in fluid transfer applications. Machined from brass, this fitting features a 1/4 inch barb size with a 3/8 inch outside diameter and a 9/16 inch UNF threaded male end. It measures 1.63 inches in length and weighs 0.1 pounds. Rated for working pressures up to 350 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees F, this connector suits demanding service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting where a threaded-to-barb transition is required in low-to-medium pressure hose assemblies.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial fluid systems requiring a threaded male connection transitioning to a push-on barbed hose attachment. Typical applications include pneumatic lines, hydraulic fluid transfer, coolant circuits, and general-purpose hose routing where a 9/16 UNF male thread interfaces with a 1/4 inch inside diameter hose. Its brass construction makes it appropriate for water, air, and many compatible fluid media in both stationary and mobile equipment contexts.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by qualified plumbers, HVAC technicians, or fluid systems mechanics. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any hose fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the media and pressure rating to the male UNF threads before assembly. Ensure the hose is fully seated past the barb and secured with an appropriate clamp rated for the working pressure.
