Dixon Valve Coupling FAB200 Suction Coupling Aluminum Npsm

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING FAB200 is a female suction coupling designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a reliable NPSM-threaded connection. Built from aluminum, this short shank coupling delivers a lightweight yet durable option for suction-side hose and pipe assemblies. Weighing just 0.1 pounds, the FAB200 is straightforward to handle and install. It is suited for plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid systems where NPSM thread compatibility and quick assembly are priorities. Licensed plumbers and fluid handling technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This coupling is used in suction-line configurations where a female NPSM thread interface is required. The short shank design accommodates standard hose fittings and is common in portable pump assemblies, water transfer setups, and similar fluid handling systems. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and offers adequate corrosion resistance for many general-service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced fluid systems technician. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any coupling. Inspect mating threads for damage before assembly and use thread sealant appropriate for the fluid media. Refer to applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for installation requirements in regulated environments.
