Dixon Valve Coupling 463 Double Bolt Clamp Plated Iron

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 463 is a double bolt hose clamp constructed from plated iron, designed to secure hose connections in industrial, plumbing, and general fluid transfer applications. This clamp uses a two-bolt design that distributes clamping force evenly around the hose circumference, reducing the risk of hose slippage or deformation under pressure. It accommodates hose outside diameters from 4-1/32 inches to 4-9/32 inches and weighs 0.1 pounds. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This double bolt clamp is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid conveyance systems where a reliable mechanical hose-to-fitting seal is required. The plated iron construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry or low-moisture environments. Applications include securing flexible hose connections on water lines, drainage fittings, and general shop or facility maintenance tasks. The clamp ships individually and is available in single-unit quantities.

Key Features

• Double bolt design distributes clamping load evenly around the hose OD
• Plated iron construction for corrosion resistance in low-moisture environments
• Fits hose outside diameters from 4-1/32 inches to 4-9/32 inches
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, reducing installation fatigue on overhead or confined-space jobs
• Single-unit packaging with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install double bolt clamp for flexible hoses with an outside diameter in the 4-1/32 inch to 4-9/32 inch range in plumbing and industrial fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial maintenance technicians. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing hose clamps. Tighten both bolts in alternating increments to ensure even seating of the clamp band against the hose. Follow applicable IPC or facility maintenance guidelines for hose and clamp assembly in pressurized systems.
