Dixon CAB200 Aluminum Hose Fitting, Complete King Short Suction Coupling Set with Brass Nut, 2" NPSM x 2" Hose ID Barbed

This Dixon CAB Series King short shank complete set hose fitting is made of aluminum with a brass nut and connects hose to threaded pipe conforming to the NPSM standard. It has a barbed end to create a tight seal on a hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule (not included), and male National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM) threads on the other end connect to female NPSM threaded connections. This fitting is made of aluminum for lighter weight and resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, and it has a brass nut for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. It has a rubber gasket for high elasticity and resistance to abrasion and impact forces. It is used for suction service applications.

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.
