Dixon Valve Coupling MSCAB3 Hose Coupling 1/2 Inch Npt Brass

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSCAB3 is a brass universal hose coupling with female NPT ends on both sides, designed for fluid transfer and general-purpose hose connections in industrial and commercial settings. Built to a 150 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is machined from solid brass, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of media including water, air, and mild chemicals. The 1/2 inch NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard plumbing and pneumatic hose fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians rely on this type of coupling for quick, leak-tight hose terminations in demanding service environments.

This coupling is suited for residential plumbing, light industrial fluid handling, and general maintenance applications where a reliable hose-end connection is needed. The female NPT thread configuration allows it to mate directly with male-threaded hose barbs, valves, and pipe nipples. It is commonly used in irrigation systems, compressed air lines, wash-down stations, and similar setups requiring a durable, pressure-rated brass fitting at the 1/2 inch pipe size.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet or humid environments
• Female NPT ends on both sides for standard thread engagement with male-threaded components
• 150 psi maximum pressure rating suitable for compressed air and general fluid service
• 1/2 inch NPT thread size compatible with standard pipe and hose fittings
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.1 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch NPT hose coupling for use with male-threaded hose ends, pipe nipples, and valve outlets conforming to NPT thread standards in general plumbing and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician. Shut off the water or air supply and relieve system pressure before threading this coupling onto any line. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not exceed the 150 psi maximum working pressure rating for this fitting.
