Dixon Boss male spud, 1"

This Dixon Boss ground joint male spud has a BSP thread and a polymer seat. The BSP male spud comes in its plated steel BSP x Wing Nut column, and this range covers six sizes from 1" to 3". In a Boss coupling the spud is usually fixed to the equipment and the stem is clamped to the hose.

Turning the wing nut on the spud connects or disconnects the two halves, and tightening it gives a mechanical and pressure seal. The non-metallic polymer seat resists most chemicals found in manufacturing facilities.

Where this product is used

Choosing the right option

Then match the spud size to the stem and hose size in your assembly. Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous. They should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary, and that each user should review the application and add safety devices where indicated.
