Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1430812K Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1430812K is a brass barbed hose fitting designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a reliable threaded and barbed connection. The fitting features a 3/4 inch UNF female thread on one end and a 1/2 inch hose barb on the other, with a 45-degree SAE / 37-degree JIC swivel end connection. Constructed from brass, it offers corrosion resistance and durability suitable for hydraulic and fluid line service. The hex head measures 0.875 inches across for standard wrench engagement. Weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece connector suited for installation in tight plumbing or hydraulic assemblies by licensed plumbers and fluid-system technicians.

This fitting is used in hydraulic lines, fluid transfer systems, and general plumbing applications where a female threaded port must transition to a barbed hose connection. The swivel design accommodates hose routing flexibility during assembly. Typical installation scenarios include industrial equipment plumbing, fluid power systems, and agricultural or irrigation line connections where 1/2 inch ID hose is joined to a 3/4 inch UNF female port. Package quantity is one fitting per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or hydraulic system technicians. Depressurize and drain the fluid line fully before removing or installing any fitting. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex head to tighten the threaded connection — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage. Verify hose barb engagement and apply an appropriate clamp to the barb-end hose to prevent pull-off under pressure.
