Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1835106K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1835106K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in fluid transfer applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 3/8-inch NPTF threaded end that mates with National Pipe Taper Fuel thread fittings for a pressure-tight seal without the need for additional sealant tape in many applications. It is sized for hose with a 5/16-inch inner diameter and a 5/8-inch outer diameter. The reusable design allows technicians to remove and reinstall the fitting onto replacement hose sections, reducing material waste and downtime on service calls. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for tight installation spaces.

This fitting is appropriate for use in plumbing, industrial fluid transfer, and mechanical service environments where NPTF-threaded connections are required. It is commonly installed on low-pressure hydraulic hose, coolant lines, and general-purpose fluid lines in both residential and light commercial settings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical technicians are the primary installers, though experienced tradespeople across disciplines will encounter this fitting type in routine service work.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or hose assembly. Use appropriate hand tools to tighten the NPTF threaded connection to a firm, leak-free seat without over-torquing the brass body. Inspect the hose ends for cuts, abrasion, or deformation before reinstalling a reusable fitting.
