Dixon Valve Coupling 769 Double Bolt Clamp Plated Iron

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 769 is a double bolt clamp manufactured from plated iron, designed to secure large-diameter hose connections in industrial and trade plumbing applications. Double bolt clamps provide uniform clamping force across the full circumference of the hose, making them appropriate for high-demand connections where a single bolt clamp would not deliver sufficient holding strength. The plated iron construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose service. This clamp accommodates hose outside diameters from 6.5 inches to 7.5625 inches and weighs 0.1 pounds, making it easy to handle during installation.

The 769 clamp is used in applications where large-diameter hoses must be secured to fittings, couplings, or nipples — common in industrial water transfer, irrigation, dewatering, and general fluid-handling systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of clamp where reliable, repeatable clamping torque on large hose assemblies is required. Its design is well suited for both permanent installations and field repairs where hose-to-fitting integrity is critical.

Key Features

• Double bolt design distributes clamping load evenly around the full hose circumference
• Fits hose outside diameters from 6.5 inches to 7.5625 inches
• Plated iron construction provides general-purpose corrosion resistance
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy single-technician handling
• Sold individually — no minimum bundle required for single-unit replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement double bolt clamp for large-diameter hose assemblies with outside diameters between 6.5 inches and 7.5625 inches in industrial and commercial fluid-handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified industrial maintenance technicians. Before installing or replacing hose clamps, depressurize the system and shut off the fluid supply completely. Use appropriately sized wrenches to tighten both bolts evenly in alternating sequence to achieve balanced clamping force without distorting the clamp band. Follow IPC and applicable local codes for hose assembly and fluid-system connections.
