Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1835114K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1835114K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, threaded connections in fluid transfer applications. It features a 1/4-inch NPTF thread and accepts hose with a 5/16-inch inner diameter and an 11/16-inch outer diameter. NPTF threading provides a dry-seal connection that resists leakage without requiring additional sealant tape in many installations. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece component suited for use with compatible rubber or synthetic hose assemblies. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is appropriate for hydraulic, pneumatic, water, and general fluid transfer lines where a reusable male end connection is needed. The reusable design allows the fitting to be disassembled and reinstalled on replacement hose sections, reducing material costs during routine maintenance or field repairs. It is well suited to light industrial and commercial service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or fluid systems technician following applicable codes. De-pressurize and drain the line fully before disassembling or installing any hose fitting. Verify thread type compatibility before assembly, as NPTF and NPT threads are similar but not interchangeable in all applications. Inspect hose ends for cuts or deformation before seating the fitting to ensure a proper seal.
