This Dixon hose fitting is made of type 316 stainless steel and connects hose to female threaded pipe conforming to the NPT standard. This adapter is for connecting a hose to a female National Pipe Taper (NPT) 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 male NPT threads on the other end to connect to female NPT threaded connections. This fitting is made of Type 316 stainless steel for higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than Type 304 stainless steel.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.
