Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1836114K Male Hose Fitting 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1836114K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant fluid transfer connections in plumbing and industrial hose assemblies. Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 1/4 inch NPTF threaded connection and accommodates hose with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and an 11/16 inch outer diameter. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant. Its reusable design allows it to be removed and reinstalled during service or hose replacement, reducing material waste and downtime. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-system technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where hose assemblies connect to threaded ports or valves. Typical install scenarios include compressed air lines, hydraulic circuits, water supply connections, and general fluid transfer systems. The 1/4 inch NPTF male thread mates with standard NPTF female ports. Reusable construction makes it appropriate for low-to-moderate pressure service environments where hose ends must be swapped periodically without replacing the fitting hardware. Individual packaging allows for single-unit replacement jobs without surplus inventory.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight connection without additional sealant
• Fits hose with 3/8 inch inner diameter and 11/16 inch outer diameter
• Brass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with water, air, and many hydraulic fluids
• Reusable design allows removal and reinstallation during hose service
• Threaded connection type for straightforward installation with standard hand tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable male fitting for hose assemblies with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and 11/16 inch outer diameter, mating to 1/4 inch NPTF female-threaded ports in standard fluid transfer and compressed air systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly fully before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate jaw-type pliers or a fitting wrench to seat the NPTF threads without over-torquing the brass body. Inspect hose ends for wear, cracking, or deformation before reinstalling a reusable fitting.
