Dixon Valve Coupling MSC5890808K Brass Hose Fitting Set

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC5890808K is a brass short shank male/female garden hose fitting set designed for connecting and adapting hose lines in light commercial and residential water supply applications. The set uses 3/4-inch National Hose (NH) thread, also known as Garden Hose Thread (GHT), and accommodates hose inside diameters of 1/2 inch and compatible hose outside diameters of 3/4 inch. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting set offers dependable corrosion resistance in wet service environments. It ships as a complete male/female pair, making it a direct replacement or repair connector for standard garden hose configurations. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and facilities maintenance crews are the typical installers.

This fitting set is suited for residential irrigation systems, outdoor water supply lines, portable equipment connections, and light-duty commercial hose stations. The short shank design keeps the overall installed profile compact, which is useful in tight connections at spigots, manifolds, or hose reels. The GHT thread pattern is a widely used standard in North American hose fittings, making this set broadly applicable across common hose assemblies. No special tools are required for hand-tightening, though a wrench may be used for a secure seat on threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply completely before removing or installing hose fittings. Inspect all mating threads for damage or debris before assembly. Thread sealant tape may be applied to threaded connections where a leak-free seal is required, but avoid over-tightening brass fittings to prevent thread damage. This fitting is intended for installation by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel familiar with hose fitting standards.
