Dixon Valve Coupling 5041208C Brass Hose Fitting Ght

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 5041208C is a brass garden hose fitting designed to connect a female hose thread (GHT) to a male pipe thread via a swivel connection. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate freely during connection, reducing kinking and stress on the fitting. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply and irrigation applications. It is sized for 0.5-inch hose diameter and weighs approximately 0.1 pounds. Licensed plumbers, irrigation technicians, and maintenance professionals typically install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial settings.

This fitting is suited for garden hose assemblies, irrigation manifolds, and utility water supply connections where a female hose thread must transition to a male pipe thread. The GHT (Garden Hose Thread) standard is common in residential outdoor faucets, hose bibs, and portable equipment connections. The swivel feature is particularly useful in tight spaces where the hose cannot be rotated to thread the fitting. Sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Female hose to male pipe swivel configuration for flexible hose-to-pipe transitions
• GHT (Garden Hose Thread) standard for compatibility with standard hose bibs and outdoor faucets
• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in water service applications
• Swivel design reduces hose kinking and stress at the connection point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit connector for standard 0.5-inch GHT garden hose assemblies and male pipe thread fittings in residential and light commercial water supply applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply completely before removing or installing any hose fittings. Apply thread sealant tape to the male pipe threads as required by local plumbing codes before making the connection. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as brass threads are susceptible to galling and cracking under excessive torque.
