Dixon Valve Coupling DV-00185 Venting Hose Coupling 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING DV-00185 is a venting pneumatic hose coupling designed for compressed air and pneumatic system connections. Threaded in 3/8 inch NPT, this coupling is constructed from steel with a nickel finish for corrosion resistance in industrial service environments. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for standard shop air and light industrial pneumatic lines. Sold in a package quantity of two, the DV-00185 is a straightforward replacement or expansion fitting for technicians maintaining or building out pneumatic tool and equipment connections.

This venting coupling is appropriate for use in pneumatic hose assemblies found in shop environments, manufacturing facilities, and mechanical service bays. The venting design allows trapped air to release safely when disconnecting, reducing pressure hazards at the coupling face. The 3/8 inch NPT thread size is a common standard in light-to-medium duty pneumatic systems. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or general maintenance mechanics working on compressed air distribution lines.

Key Features

• Venting coupling design releases trapped air pressure upon disconnection
• 3/8 inch NPT thread for compatibility with standard pneumatic fittings
• Steel construction with nickel finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Sold as a pack of two couplings per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for standard 3/8 inch NPT pneumatic hose assemblies in light-to-medium duty compressed air systems.

Installation Notes

Shut off and bleed compressed air pressure from the line before removing or installing any pneumatic coupling. Thread engagement should be checked for proper NPT taper fit and sealed with appropriate thread sealant tape per standard shop practice. Installation is typically within the scope of a licensed pipefitter or qualified maintenance mechanic. Verify the system operating pressure does not exceed the 150 psi maximum working pressure rating of this coupling.
