Boss
™
Coupling System
Features:
The spud part of the coupling serves as one half
of the connection and is usually fixed to the equipment. The
stem part that is clamped to the hose is the other half. The
two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the
wing nut onto the spud. When connected they achieve both a
mechanical, and a pressure seal.
Services:
Boss™ couplings are all-purpose hose couplings,
universally recommended for steam hose connections. They
are also widely used for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals
and liquid petroleum gas up to 1" ID. Boss™ couplings can
be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic
or semi-metallic hose. Consult Dixon™ for specific media
capabilities.

fitting to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a
male or female threaded (NPT) outlet.

Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous. They should
be checked regularly and replaced when necessary. Each
coupling user should review applications and add safety
devices where indicated.
