Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1856104K Female Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1856104K is a reusable brass female swivel hose fitting designed for threaded hose-end connections in fluid transfer applications. Built with a 1/4 inch NPSM thread standard, this fitting accepts hose with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and a 5/8 inch outer diameter. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and making assembly easier in tight or awkward plumbing runs. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component intended for use by plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-system technicians working on low-to-medium pressure hose assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer systems where a reusable threaded hose-end connection is required. The 1/4 inch NPSM thread mates with standard female-swivel-compatible male fittings and fixtures. Its reusable construction means no crimping tool is required — the fitting can be disassembled, inspected, and reinstalled on replacement hose sections, making it practical for field service and maintenance work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified fluid-system technicians. Before servicing any hose assembly, shut off the upstream fluid supply and depressurize the line completely. Thread engagement should follow IPC guidelines for NPSM connections — do not overtighten, as brass threads can gall or crack under excessive torque. Inspect the hose OD and ID dimensions before assembly to confirm the hose falls within the specified 3/8 inch ID and 5/8 inch OD range.
