Dixon Valve Coupling J48 Double Bolt Clamp Plated Iron

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING J48 is a double bolt hose clamp constructed from plated iron, designed to secure hose connections in fluid transfer and general industrial applications. The double bolt design distributes clamping force evenly around the hose circumference, reducing the risk of hose slippage or blowout under pressure. It accommodates hose outside diameters ranging from 1-1/8 inches to 1-3/16 inches. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians install this style of clamp where a positive, vibration-resistant connection is required and a single-bolt clamp is not sufficient for the application.

The J48 double bolt clamp is suited for low- to medium-pressure hose assemblies in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical applications include connecting flexible hose to rigid pipe nipples, barbed fittings, or cam-and-groove adapters in water, air, and non-corrosive fluid lines. The narrow OD range makes it a precise fit for standard 1-inch nominal hose with wall thicknesses that bring the outside diameter into the 1-1/8 to 1-3/16 inch window.

Key Features

• Double bolt design provides uniform clamping force and added holding strength compared to single-bolt clamps
• Plated iron construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose fluid transfer
• Fits hose outside diameters from 1-1/8 inches to 1-3/16 inches
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing added load on hose assemblies
• Single-piece packaging for individual replacement or small-quantity service work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation double bolt hose clamp for flexible hoses with an outside diameter between 1-1/8 inches and 1-3/16 inches in general plumbing, industrial, and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. De-pressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any hose clamp. Position the clamp over the hose end past the bead or fitting barb, then tighten both bolts evenly in alternating passes to seat the clamp uniformly. Follow applicable IPC or facility maintenance guidelines for hose assembly inspection intervals.
