Question by: Dustin W on Dec 17, 2025, 1:00 PM
trying to replace a worn out fitting on a whip hose, is this the one that goes from a 1 inch hose ID barb to 1 inch male npt?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 19, 2025, 8:10 AM
For a 1.00 inch I.D. hose, this is a medium shank combination nipple with a hose barb on one end and 1 inch male NPT threads on the other, so it matches that barb to male NPT hookup.

Just want to make sure, this nipple will fit a 1-inch ID hose, right?
Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 12, 2026, 8:53 PM
Absolutely, this steel combination nipple is designed to fit a 1-inch internal diameter hose with a 1-inch male NPT thread.

Got a pavement breaker that eats through fittings real fast from all the vibration. Will this nipple hold up to that kind of punishment or is it gonna loosen up on me?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 1, 2025, 6:26 AM
Heat treated steel is what makes this one worth looking at for that application. Dixon built this fitting specifically for whip hoses on vibrating air tools, pavement breakers included. The heat treatment process strengthens the steel so it can take the constant shock and movement without failing the way a standard nipple might. Pair it with good clamp placement and the right hose and it should hold steady through heavy use.
