Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1834102K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1834102K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for low-pressure fluid and air line connections in plumbing, industrial, and maintenance applications. Manufactured from brass, it features a 1/8 NPTF threaded end for a leak-resistant, pressure-tight seal and accepts hose with a 1/4-inch inner diameter and a 5/8-inch outer diameter. The reusable design allows the fitting to be installed, removed, and reinstalled without damaging the hose, making it a practical choice for field service and repair work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where hose-to-pipe connections are required. It is commonly used to connect flexible hose runs to threaded ports on equipment, manifolds, valves, or distribution lines. The 1/8 NPTF thread size makes it appropriate for smaller-diameter, lower-flow circuits typical in instrumentation, pneumatic, or auxiliary fluid lines. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician familiar with threaded pipe fittings and applicable codes such as the IPC. Shut off all fluid or air pressure to the system before removing or installing any hose fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but confirm thread engagement and inspect for leaks after pressurizing the system. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
