Machined from free-cutting brass CDA 360 alloy, the Brass Short Shank Type Fitting, 0.50 Inch ID Hose Splicer is designed for low pressure fluid transfer applications, including suction and discharge service. The splicer configuration joins two lengths of 1/2-inch ID hose without threaded end connections, making it a straightforward inline coupling solution for compatible hose assemblies.
Dixon Valve & Coupling's short shank design follows standard barb geometry suited to use with hose clamps. Working pressure varies depending on hose construction, clamp type and quantity, clamp placement, installation method, temperature, and the fluid being conveyed, factors that should be confirmed against the specific hose and clamp combination in use.
