Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1856114K Female Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1856114K is a reusable female swivel hose fitting designed for threaded hose connections in fluid transfer applications. Built from brass, this fitting accepts a 3/8 inch hose ID and fits a 11/16 inch hose OD, threading onto a 1/4 inch NPSM port. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate freely after connection, reducing torsional stress and simplifying installation in tight or awkward plumbing runs. The reusable construction means the fitting can be removed and reinstalled without replacing the component, making it a practical choice for service and maintenance work. Weighing 0.17 pounds, it is compact and suited for both bench assembly and field use.

This fitting is intended for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, fluid transfer, and general plumbing systems where a female swivel connection to a 1/4 inch NPSM threaded port is required. It is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working with flexible hose assemblies. The 3/8 inch hose ID makes it compatible with standard small-bore hose in light-duty fluid transfer lines found in commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket swivel hose fitting for systems requiring a 1/4 inch NPSM female threaded connection with a 3/8 inch hose ID and 11/16 inch hose OD.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the fluid and pressure in the system. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is subject to thread damage under excessive torque.
