When used with an appropriate notched ferrule, these fittings can be swaged or crimped onto hose, thereby providing improved shank retention.
The stem can be removed from a damaged hose by cutting away the ferrule, without necessarily damaging the fitting. After inspection to determine its suitability for reuse. it can be reinstalled into another hose by using a new ferrule.
When used with double bolt or band clamps, notched turned back nipples will provide shank retention similar to that of the King turned back nipples.
Notched turned back nipples let you use the same ferrules used with the notched (NO) cam and groove. This lets you maximize your inventory usage and reduce costs. You must purchase a fitting and the matching ferrule to create an assembly.
Stems are for use with lap joint flanges.
Dixon stems and ferrules are specifically designed to be used together as a coupling system. Due to differences in dimensions and tolerances for safety reasons do not use other manufacturer's stems or ferrules with Dixon Holedall products.
Note: Stems are for use with lap joint flanges.
Safety Alert: Boss couplings and the steam quick disconnects are the only Dixon couplers recommended for steam service
