Dixon Valve Coupling 5931012C Garden Hose Fitting Brass

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 5931012C is a long shank male garden hose fitting machined from brass. It accepts a 5/8-inch inside diameter hose and connects via a 3/4-inch National Hose (GHT) thread. The long shank design provides extra grip surface for hose clamp installation, reducing the risk of blowoff under pressure. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece connector suited for permanent or field-repair connections on water supply lines, irrigation systems, and commercial wash-down applications. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, and facility maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used wherever a hose-to-threaded-pipe or hose-to-equipment connection requires a GHT male interface. Common applications include connecting garden hose assemblies to hydrants, valve outlets, or portable pumping equipment. The brass construction resists corrosion in outdoor and wet environments, making it appropriate for both residential and light commercial service. The long shank is especially useful when working with thick-wall or reinforced hose where a standard shank would not provide adequate retention.

Key Features

• Long shank profile provides extended clamp surface for secure hose retention
• 3/4-inch National Hose (GHT) male thread for standard garden hose connections
• Compatible with 5/8-inch inside diameter hose
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 5/8-inch ID hose assemblies requiring a 3/4-inch GHT male connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or maintenance personnel using standard hose clamps and hand tools. Shut off the water supply completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Secure the hose over the shank and position a hose clamp beyond the end of the shank before tightening to the manufacturer-recommended clamp torque. Inspect the GHT threads for damage before making the threaded connection to avoid cross-threading.
