Dixon 57-300 Steel Hydraulic Quick-Connect Fitting, Plug, 3/8" Coupling x 3/8"-18 NPT

This Dixon 57 Series steel hydraulic quick connect plug has a female NPT threaded end, two-way check valve, and connects to a hydraulic quick connect coupler. The female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection end connects with male NPT connections. Steel provides better weldability and greater rust resistance than wrought iron. The two-way check valve automatically balances in the flow position and provides instant shut-off with minimal loss of media when disconnected. This coupler meets the dimensional requirements of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 7241-1 Series A for general purpose quick-action couplings which describes interface dimensions and basic performance requirements. This fitting is used for hydraulic applications in industrial operations.
