Dixon Valve Coupling MSCAM12 Hose Coupling 1 in Npt

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSCAM12 is a universal hose coupling with male NPT ends, constructed from malleable iron for durability in demanding fluid-transfer applications. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, this coupling features a 1-inch NPT thread standard and is designed for use by plumbing professionals, industrial maintenance technicians, and facilities crews connecting hose assemblies to threaded pipe systems. The malleable iron construction provides reliable resistance to mechanical stress, making it suitable for use in environments where a secure, leak-resistant connection is required.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and general-purpose fluid-transfer systems where a threaded hose-to-pipe connection is needed. The 1-inch NPT male ends allow direct connection to standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves commonly found in water supply, washdown, and fluid-handling lines. Plumbing and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting during new construction, system modifications, or repair of existing hose assemblies.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 1-inch NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard pipe and fittings
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Universal hose coupling design with male NPT ends on both connections
• Compact, single-unit package suitable for service truck inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-inch NPT threaded hose and pipe assemblies in plumbing and fluid-transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
