Dixon Valve Coupling DV-00346 3in Npt Steel Threaded Nipple

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING DV-00346 is a steel threaded nipple designed for hose connections in fluid transfer applications. This combination nipple features a 3-inch NPT thread and is constructed from steel for durability in demanding industrial and commercial environments. It serves as a connecting component between hoses and piping systems, allowing secure, leak-resistant joints. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this type of fitting where high-flow or large-diameter hose assemblies must mate to threaded pipe or equipment ports.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial fluid transfer, water supply, and general-purpose hose assembly applications where a 3-inch NPT threaded connection is required. Its steel construction makes it appropriate for use in applications involving moderate pressure and a range of compatible fluids. It is sold individually and is a practical replacement or addition to existing large-diameter hose rigs in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 3-inch NPT thread for large-diameter hose connections
• Steel construction provides durability in industrial service
• Combination nipple design allows hose-to-pipe or hose-to-equipment connections
• Standard NPT thread ensures compatibility with common threaded fittings and pipe
• Sold as a single unit (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for large-diameter threaded hose assemblies requiring a 3-inch NPT steel nipple fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines for threaded pipe connections. Shut off all flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Avoid overtightening, which can damage threads or connected hose fittings.
