Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1870408K Brass Hose Splicer

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1870408K is a reusable brass hose splicer designed to join two sections of hose in fluid transfer and compressed air systems. It accepts a 1/4-inch hose inner diameter and fits over a 1/2-inch hose outer diameter, making it a precise fit for small-bore hose lines. At 0.1 pounds and 2.39 inches in overall length, this compact fitting installs and removes without special tooling, which is where the reusable design delivers real value. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals use this splicer to repair or extend hose runs quickly without replacing the entire hose assembly.

This splicer is suited for low-pressure fluid and air hose applications in residential and light commercial environments. It is commonly installed on compressed air lines, water transfer hoses, and general utility hose systems where a reliable in-line splice connection is needed. The brass construction resists corrosion and performs well in wet service conditions. Its reusable design makes it practical for field repair work where minimizing downtime and material waste matters.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows removal and reinstallation without damaging the hose or fitting
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid service conditions
• 1/4-inch hose ID x 1/2-inch hose OD sizing for small-bore hose applications
• 2.39-inch overall length keeps the splice compact within tight routing layouts
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, easy to carry as a field repair component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement splicer fitting for small-bore hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch inner diameter and 1/2-inch outer diameter connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician. Depressurize and drain the hose line completely before removing any existing fittings or cutting the hose. Ensure the hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely before inserting the splicer to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for hose repair connections in your jurisdiction.
