Dixon Valve Coupling MSC1870611K Brass Hose Splicer

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC1870611K is a reusable brass hose splicer designed to rejoin or extend sections of flexible hose without replacing the entire assembly. Built from solid brass, this fitting accepts a 3/8 inch hose inner diameter and fits a 11/16 inch hose outer diameter, providing a secure mechanical connection in fluid transfer and compressed air applications. At 2.59 inches in overall length and weighing just 0.1 pounds, it is compact enough for tight installations. The reusable design allows removal and reinstallation, making it practical for service work where hose sections are frequently swapped or repaired.

This splicer is suited for light-to-medium duty plumbing, irrigation, pneumatic, and general fluid handling applications where a hose-to-hose inline connection is needed. It is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals when field-repairing or splicing rubber or vinyl hose runs. The brass construction handles moderate pressures and resists corrosion in typical service environments. Its reusable nature makes it a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventories.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable inline splicer for 3/8 inch inner diameter hose with an outer diameter of 11/16 inch, typical of rubber and vinyl hose used in fluid transfer and pneumatic service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard hose clamps appropriate for the hose outer diameter. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly fully before disassembly or installation. Ensure the hose ends are cut cleanly and squarely to seat the splicer evenly on both sides. Follow applicable IPC or system-specific codes when splicing hose in pressurized fluid systems.
