Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1834094K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1834094K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, threaded connections in fluid transfer and compressed air systems. Constructed from brass, it features a 1/4-inch NPTF thread standard and accepts hose with a 1/4-inch inner diameter and a 9/16-inch outer diameter. The reusable design allows the fitting to be installed and removed without damage to the hose, making it practical for maintenance-heavy environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this type of fitting for low-to-medium pressure hose assemblies where a leak-free NPTF threaded connection is required.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and light mechanical service applications where hose assemblies connect to threaded ports or valves. Common installations include compressed air distribution, hydraulic transfer lines, and general fluid handling systems. The 1/4-inch NPTF thread engages standard tapered female pipe thread ports, creating a pressure-resistant mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant tape in many configurations. The compact brass body handles moderate pressure and resists corrosion in typical shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Reusable construction allows removal and reinstallation without hose damage
• Brass body provides corrosion resistance for fluid and air service
• 1/4-inch NPTF tapered thread creates a pressure-resistant mechanical seal
• Accepts 1/4-inch hose ID with 9/16-inch hose OD
• Threaded connection type for reliable engagement with standard female NPTF ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded connection with a 1/4-inch inner diameter and 9/16-inch outer diameter hose.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified mechanical technicians. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly fully before disassembly or fitting replacement. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement, but verify system pressure and fluid compatibility before assembly. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for thread engagement and pressure testing requirements in your jurisdiction.
