## Description

Dixon® Ground Joint Stem, Series: Boss™, Stem, 1 in Nominal, Brass, Domestic

Features

- The stem part that is clamped to the hose is one half of the boss ground joint connection

- The boss ground joint spud part of the coupling serves as the other half and is usually fixed to the equipment

- The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud, when connected they achieve both a mechanical and a pressure seal

- Easy to seal

- Boss ground joint complete couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet

- Leakproof seal forms when the metal head of the stem makes contact with the patented polymer seat in the boss ground joint spud

- Use with Boss™ clamps

- Recommended for steam service up to 450°F

- Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous

- They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary

- Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated

- Note: pressurized steam is an extremely dangerous commodity

- Only hose, fittings, clamps and accessory items that have been approved for steam service should ever be used! never use an unapproved item for steam service

- Always follow the manufacturer's product recommendations for pressurized steam handling

- 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 in ID

- Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic or semi-metallic hose
