Dixon Valve Coupling DL14 Double Bolt Hose Clamp

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING DL14 is a double bolt hose clamp constructed from plated iron, designed to secure hose connections in fluid transfer and general industrial piping applications. It accommodates hose outside diameters from 1-5/8 inches minimum to 1-13/16 inches maximum, making it well-suited for medium-diameter hose assemblies. The two-bolt design distributes clamping force evenly around the hose circumference, reducing the risk of hose distortion or seal failure under pressure. At 0.1 pounds, the clamp is lightweight and easy to handle during assembly. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly specify this style of clamp where a positive, secure grip on the hose end is required.

The DL14 double bolt clamp is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate drain lines, irrigation systems, and general fluid handling setups where hoses in the 1-5/8 to 1-13/16 inch outside diameter range must be reliably clamped to fittings or barbed connectors. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance replacements where the original clamp has corroded or failed.

Key Features

• Double bolt design provides even clamping force and a secure seal around the hose
• Plated iron construction offers corrosion resistance for general-duty service
• Fits hose outside diameters from 1-5/8 inches to 1-13/16 inches
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy single-hand installation
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install double bolt hose clamp for medium-diameter hoses with outside diameters between 1-5/8 inches and 1-13/16 inches in plumbing, HVAC, and general fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians using standard hand tools. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before removing an existing clamp or installing a new one. Position the clamp over the hose end with the hose fully seated on the fitting barb, then tighten both bolts evenly to avoid cocking the clamp. Do not overtighten, as this can crack plated hardware or deform the hose wall.
