Dixon Valve Coupling 2860812C Hose Male Connector

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 2860812C 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 1/2 inch barb for push-on hose attachment and a 3/4 inch UNF threaded male end for connection to compatible female threaded ports. It measures 1.98 inches in length and has an outside diameter of 1/2 inch. Rated to 350 psi maximum working pressure, it handles operating temperatures from -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This connector suits residential and light commercial plumbing, hydraulic, and fluid transfer systems where a threaded-to-barb transition is required. The push-on barb design grips hose inner diameter securely, reducing the need for additional clamps in lower-pressure applications, though hose clamps are still recommended in higher-pressure or vibration-prone environments. Its brass construction makes it suitable for water, air, and a range of compatible fluids.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads as appropriate for the fluid service. Inspect the barb and hose end for damage before assembly, and use a hose clamp to secure the hose in pressure-rated applications.
