Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1854106K Female Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1854106K is a reusable female swivel hose fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in fluid transfer applications. It features a 3/8 inch NPSM thread size and accommodates hose with a 1/4 inch inside diameter and a 5/8 inch outside diameter. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate freely during assembly, reducing hose twist and making installation faster in tight spaces. This fitting is intended for use by plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and fluid system installers who need a durable, rethreadable connection point without replacing the entire fitting assembly.

This female swivel fitting is suited for low- to medium-pressure fluid transfer lines in industrial, commercial, and light plumbing applications. The reusable construction makes it a practical choice for service environments where hoses are changed or inspected regularly. Its NPSM thread standard ensures compatibility with standard straight mechanical pipe thread fittings commonly found in North American fluid handling systems.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch NPSM female swivel thread for standard straight mechanical pipe connections
• Reusable design allows removal and reinstallation without replacing the fitting
• Swivel action reduces hose torque and twist during makeup
• Fits hose with 1/4 inch ID and 5/8 inch OD
• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for fluid transfer hose assemblies using 3/8 inch NPSM female swivel connections with 1/4 inch ID hose.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or fluid system technician familiar with NPSM thread standards. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. NPSM is a straight thread and relies on a sealing surface or gasket rather than thread taper for leak-free makeup, so inspect the mating surface for damage before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the swivel seat and cause leaks.
