Anderson Metals 737420-1206 Female Hose Mip Swivel Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 737420-1206 is a lead-free brass swivel connector that transitions a female garden hose thread to a male iron pipe (MIP) thread. The swivel design allows the hose side to rotate freely during connection, reducing kinking and making hand-tightening easier in tight or awkward spaces. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets modern potable-water material requirements. It is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for plumbing, irrigation, and outdoor water-supply connections where a garden hose thread must mate to a standard pipe thread port.

This fitting is commonly installed in residential and light commercial applications — connecting garden hoses to threaded spigots, irrigation manifolds, hose bibs, or any male pipe thread outlet that requires a swivel-style garden hose interface. Plumbers and irrigation technicians use this connector when a fixed elbow or rigid adapter would create undue stress on the supply line. It is sold individually and is well suited for both new installations and repair work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable-water safe material standards
• Swivel on the female garden hose side allows rotation for kink-free, easy hand-tightening
• Female garden hose thread (GHT) inlet to male iron pipe thread (MIP) outlet
• Compact single-piece body — no additional fittings or adapters required
• Sold as individual unit — no minimum multi-pack required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-install fitting for any application requiring a female garden hose thread to male iron pipe thread swivel transition. Verify thread size on the MIP port before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male pipe threads before assembly — do not apply sealant to the garden hose swivel threads. Hand-tighten the garden hose swivel side only; use a wrench on the MIP side as needed to achieve a leak-free seal without over-stressing the fitting body.
