Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1835104K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1835104K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in fluid transfer applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 1/4 inch NPTF threaded end and accepts hose with a 5/16 inch inner diameter and 5/8 inch outer diameter. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant tape on most connections. This fitting is intended for plumbing, hydraulic, pneumatic, and industrial fluid systems where a reliable, field-reusable connection is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial fluid transfer systems. The reusable design allows technicians to remove and reinstall the fitting without replacing the component, reducing service costs in maintenance-heavy environments. It is compatible with hose assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch ID and 5/8 inch OD, with a 1/4 inch NPTF male threaded port for connection to female NPTF or NPT ports on valves, manifolds, pumps, or inline components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the threaded connection; avoid over-torquing brass fittings, which can crack the body or damage threads. Inspect the hose end and fitting bore for debris or damage before assembly.
