Dixon Valve Coupling 2940403C Brass Rigid Tube Shank Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 2940403C is a brass rigid tube shank fitting designed for barbed push-on hose connections. It provides a secure, leak-resistant interface between rigid tubing and flexible hose assemblies without the need for clamps in light-duty push-on applications. The 3/16 inch OD tube shank mates with compatible hose inner diameters, making it a straightforward solution for low-pressure fluid transfer lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade mechanics use this type of fitting when assembling or repairing hose-to-tube connections in equipment, appliances, and fluid handling systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where brass construction is required for corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, and select fluid media. Typical install scenarios include appliance water supply lines, HVAC condensate and drain assemblies, and small-bore hydraulic or pneumatic tubing runs. Its compact size and push-on barb design allow for fast field assembly in confined spaces where threaded or compression fittings may be impractical.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet or humid environments
• Rigid tube shank design ensures a positive, stable connection to compatible hose ID
• Barbed push-on interface allows tool-free hose attachment in light-duty applications
• 3/16 inch OD tube shank suits small-bore hose and tubing assemblies
• Compact form factor fits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for small-bore barbed push-on hose assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch OD rigid tube shank in brass.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors working on fluid transfer or pneumatic line assemblies. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any hose fitting. Ensure hose inner diameter is matched to the barb OD for a secure push-on fit; apply hose clamps where required by the application or applicable codes. Refer to IPC or system manufacturer guidelines for pressure rating requirements in your specific installation.
