Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1836124K Reusable Hose Male Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1836124K is a reusable male hose fitting designed for permanent-style field assembly on hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose lines. Constructed from brass, it features a 1/4 inch NPTF threaded male end that provides a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without the need for thread sealant tape in most applications. The fitting accommodates hose with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and a 3/4 inch outer diameter. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to carry in a service kit. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and general fluid-system mechanics install this type of fitting during hose fabrication or field repair work.

This fitting is suited for low- to medium-pressure fluid transfer applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. It is appropriate wherever a reliable, reusable NPTF male connection is needed at the hose end — including water service, pneumatic lines, and general-purpose fluid systems that require periodic hose replacement without discarding the fitting hardware. The reusable design makes it a practical choice for service technicians who need to reconfigure or replace hose assemblies in the field.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch NPTF dryseal thread standard for a pressure-tight male connection

• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds — easy to stock in field service kits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable male hose end fitting for hose assemblies with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and 3/4 inch outer diameter, using a 1/4 inch NPTF male threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or hydraulic technicians using standard hand tools. Before installing or removing any hose fitting, depressurize and drain the line completely. NPTF dryseal threads are engineered to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads carefully before assembly and avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable plumbing codes and the hose manufacturer's assembly instructions when torquing the fitting to the mating port.
