Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1858168K Female Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1858168K is a reusable female swivel hose fitting designed for reliable, field-serviceable hose connections in fluid transfer systems. Threaded to a 1/2 inch NPSM standard, it accepts hose with a 1/2 inch inner diameter and a 1 inch outer diameter. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate freely during installation, reducing hose twist and making wrench access easier in tight quarters. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting where reusability and secure thread engagement are required. At 0.1 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle on the job.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer applications where NPSM-threaded female connections are specified. The reusable construction makes it a practical choice for service environments where hoses are periodically replaced without replacing the end fittings. It is appropriate for use with compatible rubber or reinforced hose assemblies that match the stated hose ID and OD dimensions.

• Reusable design allows fitting to be removed and reinstalled on replacement hose

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the hose assembly completely before disassembling or installing fittings. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the fitting without over-torquing the swivel body. Verify thread engagement and hose retention before returning the assembly to service.
