Aqualine SS-50Z Metal Hose Spike 3/4 Fht X 1/2 Fipt

Product Description

The AQUALINE SS-50Z is a metal hose spike fitting designed to connect a garden hose or supply line to a threaded pipe outlet. It features a 3/4 inch female hose thread (FHT) inlet and a 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing a standard hose connection to mate with a half-inch male pipe thread fitting. This type of adapter is commonly used in irrigation, plumbing rough-in, and outdoor water supply applications. The metal construction provides durability over plastic alternatives, making it a reliable choice for both permanent and temporary installations.

The SS-50Z is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor plumbing tasks, including connecting hose bibs, irrigation supply lines, and outdoor spigot assemblies. It is appropriate for use wherever a 3/4 inch hose thread source needs to transition to a 1/2 inch pipe thread connection. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and experienced DIYers handling outdoor water distribution work are the typical installers of this fitting.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch FHT inlet for standard garden hose or hose bib connection
• 1/2 inch FIPT outlet for connection to male pipe thread fittings
• Metal construction for improved durability compared to plastic fittings
• Compact spike-style form factor for direct installation into supply points
• Suitable for irrigation and outdoor plumbing supply applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hose-to-pipe thread adapter fitting compatible with 3/4 inch female hose thread and 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread connections in residential and light commercial outdoor plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male pipe threads before making connections to ensure a leak-free joint. Tighten hand-snug first, then use an appropriate wrench for final seating — avoid overtightening metal fittings on plastic-threaded outlets. Installation should conform to local plumbing codes where applicable.
