Description
This Dixon ATS7812H steel bent stem swivel air hose fitting is suitable for air hose applications that require a range of motion. This fitting connects a hose to a pipe or fitting of the same diameter. It has a hose barb on one end for connecting to hoses and male Unified National Special (UNS) threads on the other for connecting to female threaded pipes or fittings. This fitting is made of steel for greater resistance to rust than iron. The barbed fitting creates a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid tubing when used with a hose clamp, crimp sleeve, or ferrule (not included). This fitting is designed for normal operation at 90 psi at ambient temperatures of 70 degrees F. This Dixon ATS1212H bent stem swivel air hose fitting is suitable for use with industrial and commercial compressed air systems.
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.
