Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1450609K Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1450609K is a brass barbed hose fitting designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, leak-resistant connection. This female connector features a 9/16 inch UNF thread with a 37-degree JIC swivel end on one side and a 3/8 inch hose barb on the other. The barbed end grips the inside diameter of compatible hose to hold a firm seal under pressure. Weighing 0.1 pounds, this compact fitting is well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid lines where a threaded female JIC swivel interface is required. Licensed plumbing and mechanical trades rely on this type of fitting for reliable line connections.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial fluid system assemblies where a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose must terminate at a female 37-degree JIC swivel connection. Typical applications include hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and general-purpose fluid transfer plumbing. The threaded connection type and UNF standard make it compatible with standard JIC fittings used across a range of industrial and trade system configurations. The hex head size of 0.6875 inches allows installation and torquing with standard open-end or combination wrenches.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for fluid transfer systems requiring a 3/8 inch ID hose barb to female 37-degree JIC swivel connection with a 9/16 inch UNF thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbing or mechanical technicians working on fluid transfer lines. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Thread the JIC swivel end by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug with an open-end wrench to the appropriate torque for brass fittings per applicable system guidelines. Secure the hose barb end with an appropriate clamp rated for the system pressure.
