Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1430407K Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1430407K is a brass barbed hose fitting designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, leak-resistant connection. This female connector features a 7/16-inch UNF thread size and accepts 1/4-inch inside diameter hose via a barbed end. The opposite end uses a 45-degree SAE / 37-degree JIC swivel configuration for flexible orientation during installation. At 0.1 pounds, it is compact and lightweight, suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid line assemblies. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this type of fitting in both shop and field environments.

This fitting is appropriate for low- to medium-pressure hose assemblies where a threaded female swivel connection is required at one end and a barbed hose retention point at the other. The 1/4-inch hose barb accommodates standard 1/4-inch ID flexible hose. The 45-degree SAE / 37-degree JIC swivel end provides compatibility with common hydraulic and fluid power fittings found in industrial and mobile equipment settings. The 0.5625-inch hex head size allows for standard wrench engagement during assembly.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the hose assembly completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use an appropriately sized open-end or combination wrench on the 0.5625-inch hex head to seat the fitting without over-torquing the brass body. Ensure the hose is fully seated past all barbs before securing with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve as required by the application. Follow applicable industry standards for hydraulic and fluid power connections during installation.
