Threaded to 1\/2 inch NPTF, it connects to hose with a 1\/2 inch inner diameter and a 15\/16 inch outer diameter. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal on makeup, making it well suited for fluid transfer lines in plumbing, hydraulic, and industrial service applications. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting that plumbers and pipefitters install in the field as part of hose assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service lines where a reusable, field-serviceable hose end connection is required. It is a practical choice when technicians need to dress hose assemblies on-site and want a fitting that can be removed and reused rather than a swaged or crimped alternative. Typical applications include water service, general fluid transfer, and equipment hookups where 1\/2 inch NPTF threaded connections are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable design allows field disassembly and reassembly without special crimping tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight seal on thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits hose with 1\/2 inch ID and 15\/16 inch OD for a secure grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale thread configuration for direct connection to female NPTF ports and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds, suitable for portable or mobile equipment hose runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style reusable male hose end fitting for use with hose measuring 1\/2 inch inner diameter and 15\/16 inch outer diameter with 1\/2 inch NPTF female-threaded mating ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC guidelines for threaded hose fittings. Shut off fluid supply and relieve line pressure completely before disassembling or installing any hose end fitting. NPTF threads rely on thread-form interference for sealing; inspect threads for damage before assembly. Do not overtighten — thread engagement to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns is standard practice for NPTF connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eThread Gender\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inch\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: MSC1838158K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705827033394,"sku":"MSC1838158K","price":33.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0888324aa629569ef0639f3b3175b313.jpg?v=1788431365","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-msc1838158k-reusable-hose-male-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
