Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 1\/2 inch NPTF threaded end for a dry, pressure-tight seal without sealant tape in many applications. It accepts hose with a 3\/8 inch inner diameter and a 3\/4 inch outer diameter. At 0.1 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and well-suited for repair kits and field service work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-handling technicians install this type of fitting when a semi-permanent, field-reusable connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, water, and general fluid transfer applications where a reusable threaded hose end is preferred over a crimped or swaged alternative. Typical installations include low-pressure plumbing lines, equipment hose assemblies, and maintenance repair operations in commercial and light industrial settings. The NPTF thread form provides a mechanical seal through thread interference, making it a common choice on fluid system work where sealant-free joints are preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable design allows field disassembly and reinstallation without replacing the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPTF thread delivers a dry-seal mechanical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, and many hydraulic fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 3\/8 inch hose ID and 3\/4 inch hose OD for secure grip on standard hose stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds, easy to carry in a service kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or field-service fitting for flexible hose assemblies requiring a 1\/2 inch NPTF male threaded end with a 3\/8 inch inner diameter and 3\/4 inch outer diameter hose interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter familiar with NPTF threaded connections and the applicable IPC or system-specific pressure ratings. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disassembling any hose fitting. Insert the fitting body into the hose end per the manufacturer reuse procedure, ensuring the hose seats fully before tightening the shell. Do not overtighten threaded connections, and verify the joint is leak-free under system pressure before returning to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141734\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIXON VALVE COUPLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSC1836128K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700740456754,"sku":"MSC1836128K","price":24.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/989286551ab0456a85b18c42c7eff397.jpg?v=1788394637","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-msc1836128k-reusable-hose-male-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
