Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 3\/8 inch NPTF threaded end and is sized for hose with a 1\/2 inch inner diameter and a 7\/8 inch outer diameter. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant tape in many applications. Weighing 0.1 pounds, this is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for licensed plumbers and fluid system technicians working on reusable hose end assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial fluid transfer applications where a reusable, field-serviceable hose connection is preferred over a crimp-style end. It is commonly installed on rubber or reinforced hose assemblies used in hydraulic lines, water supply runs, and general-purpose plumbing. The reusable design allows the fitting to be removed and reinstalled when hose replacement or system reconfiguration is required, reducing material waste on repeat service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet and pressurized environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch NPTF thread delivers a pressure-tight seal through thread interference fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable design supports field disassembly and reassembly without replacing the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits hose with 1\/2 inch ID and 7\/8 inch OD for a secure mechanical grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded connection type for straightforward installation with standard hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds, easy to carry as a service spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style reusable male hose fitting for rubber or reinforced hose assemblies with a 1\/2 inch inner diameter and 7\/8 inch outer diameter, using a 3\/8 inch NPTF threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified fluid systems technician. Shut off all fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling any hose end or fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal through thread interference, but verify the mating port thread standard before installation to avoid cross-threading or leaks. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements when integrating into potable water or pressurized fluid systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: MSC1838146K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689553428786,"sku":"MSC1838146K","price":43.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9e4cad54167593d05da9c1a584311be0.jpg?v=1788261263","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-msc1838146k-reusable-male-hose-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
