Dixon Valve Coupling MSCAM13 Hose Coupling 1 Inch Npt

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING MSCAM13 is a universal hose coupling with female NPT ends, designed for connecting hoses and fluid transfer lines in industrial and trade plumbing applications. Built from malleable iron, this fitting delivers the durability needed for demanding service environments. It features a 1-inch NPT thread standard and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of coupling when a reliable, threaded hose-end connection is required on water, air, or compatible fluid systems.

This coupling is suited for general-purpose hose connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The female NPT thread configuration allows it to mate with standard male NPT fittings found on hoses, valves, and pipe assemblies. Typical install scenarios include irrigation supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling where a secure, leak-resistant threaded coupling is needed. The malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress that cast iron alone cannot match.

Key Features

• 1-inch NPT female thread on both ends for standard compatibility with NPT-threaded hose and pipe fittings
• Malleable iron construction for high mechanical strength and resistance to shock loads
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Universal hose coupling design suitable for a range of fluid and air service applications
• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1-inch female NPT threaded hose connections in standard fluid and air service lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any coupling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the casting.
