Dixon Valve Coupling DV-00204 Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING DV-00204 is a brass barbed hose fitting adapter designed to connect flexible hose to threaded pipe or equipment ports. It features a 3/8-inch barb end sized for 3/8-inch inside diameter hose and a 3/8-inch male NPTF threaded end for a pressure-tight, dryseal connection. The overall length is 1.76 inches and the fitting weighs 0.01 pounds. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in a wide range of fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians install this type of adapter where a barbed hose connection must transition to a threaded port.

This adapter suits residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems where 3/8-inch ID hose is routed to a 3/8-inch MNPTF threaded fitting or equipment port. It is commonly used in process lines, equipment hookups, and utility fluid circuits. Each package contains 5 fittings, making it practical for multi-point installations or keeping extras on hand for service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any hose fitting. Secure the hose over the barb with an appropriate clamp rated for the system pressure and media. Thread the MNPTF end into the mating female port and tighten to the fitting manufacturer specifications; do not overtighten brass fittings into cast or threaded ports to avoid thread damage.
