Dixon Valve Coupling MSC5951212K Brass Hose Fitting 3/4 Nh

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSC5951212K is a brass long shank male/female garden hose fitting set designed for secure, leak-resistant hose connections. Built to 3/4-inch NH (National Hose) GHT thread standards, this two-piece set includes both a male and female connector, allowing technicians and tradespeople to complete a full hose coupling without sourcing separate components. The long shank design provides increased grip surface and a more reliable connection under sustained flow conditions. At 0.1 pounds, the set is lightweight yet durable, suited for repeated use in irrigation, plumbing, and general water transfer applications.

This fitting set is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever 3/4-inch garden hose connections are required. Common installation scenarios include connecting hoses to spigots, inline valves, portable pumps, and equipment wash-down systems. The GHT thread type is the standard for garden hose fittings across North American plumbing supply, making this set broadly compatible with conventional hose equipment. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, and facilities maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply before removing or installing any hose fittings. Hand-tighten the connection first, then snug with pliers or a strap wrench — avoid over-tightening brass fittings, which can crack the hex or deform the seat. Inspect the hose end and mating fitting for debris or thread damage before assembly. Apply a thread seal washer or PTFE tape as appropriate to the thread type to ensure a leak-free seal.
