Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1430307K Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1430307K is a brass barbed hose fitting designed to create a secure, leak-resistant connection between small-diameter hose and threaded female ports. It features a 7/16 inch UNF female thread on one end and a hose barb sized for 3/16 inch inside diameter hose on the other. The barb-to-swivel end connection follows the 45-degree SAE and 37-degree JIC swivel standard, making it compatible with common hydraulic and fluid transfer line configurations. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting in low- to medium-pressure fluid lines where a compact, reliable threaded-to-barb transition is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial fluid transfer applications, including hydraulic lines, pneumatic tubing, and general-purpose liquid routing where 3/16 inch ID hose is used. The female swivel end allows for easier alignment during installation without twisting the hose. It is commonly installed in equipment, machinery, and plumbing assemblies that use UNF-threaded ports and small-bore flexible hose.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, or industrial maintenance mechanics. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any hose fittings. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the hex head to tighten the threaded end; avoid overtightening brass fittings to prevent thread damage. Verify that the hose ID matches the barb size and secure the hose with an appropriate clamp per system requirements.
