Dixon Valve Coupling BD-DV-00189 Brass Hose Insert 1/8 in

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING BD-DV-00189 is a brass hose insert fitting designed to create secure, leak-resistant connections in low-pressure fluid transfer lines. With a 1/8 inch hose inside diameter and a hose barb x hose barb end connection, this insert seats firmly inside flexible hose to maintain flow integrity under pressure. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on sealant tape. At 0.97 inches overall length, this compact fitting is well suited for tight plumbing runs and inline hose assemblies. Sold in a pack of 5, it is a practical bench stock item for plumbing technicians, mechanical contractors, and maintenance professionals who regularly work with small-bore hose systems.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where 1/8 inch ID flexible hose must be spliced, extended, or connected inline. Common install scenarios include compressed air lines, coolant circuits, fluid transfer tubing, and general-purpose pneumatic or hydraulic hose assemblies. The all-brass construction resists corrosion in wet environments and holds up to moderate temperatures and pressures typical of these service conditions. Plumbing and mechanical contractors will find this insert useful as a standard stock component for service calls and new installations alike.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use hose insert for flexible hose assemblies with a 1/8 inch inside diameter in plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical technicians. Before servicing any hose line, depressurize the system completely and isolate the fluid source. Insert the barbed end fully into the hose bore to ensure a seated, leak-free connection; hose clamps are recommended to secure the hose over the barb where system pressure or vibration is a factor. Follow applicable IPC and local mechanical codes for hose assembly and fitting torque practices.
