Dixon 1030808 Brass Hose Fitting Nipple 12 NPTF Male Swivel x 12 Hose ID Barbed

This Dixon 103 Series swivel nipple hose fitting is made of brass and connects hose to male threaded pipe conforming to the NPTF standard. This adapter is for connecting a hose to a female National Pipe Taper Fine (NPTF) threaded connector. A barbed fitting on one end creates a tight seal on flexible or semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule (not included), and a female NPTF connector on the other end connects to threaded pipe. This hose nipple with swivel fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation. Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories. The company, founded in 1916, is headquartered in Chestertown, MD.
