Dixon Nipple, Series: 3500, 3/8 x 1/2 in Nominal, MNPT x Hose Shank End Style, 600 psi Pressure, 70 deg F, Steel, Zinc Plated, Domestic

ITEM FEATURES:

• The constant vibration created by air tools, like air drills and pavement breakers, is destructive to air hose couplings, especially the quick-acting type
• To provide protection against coupling breakage and related hazards, Dixon recommends the use of a whip hose
• To construct a whip hose, connect one end of a short (3 to 10 ft ) air hose to the air tool using a 3500 type steel nipple
• Connect the other end of the hose to the air supply using the standard quick-acting coupling
• The heat treated 3500 nipple will withstand vibration far better than the standard coupling and provide a safer connection
• The whip hose should remain permanently connected to the tool
• For air and water service only
• Do not use in connection with drinking water
• Wash hands after handling
