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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch FHT inlet for standard garden hose or hose bib connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch FIPT outlet for connection to male pipe thread fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal construction for improved durability compared to plastic fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact spike-style form factor for direct installation into supply points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for irrigation and outdoor plumbing supply applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch FHT (Female Hose Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIPT (Female Iron Pipe Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 843687120834\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQUALINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SS-50Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AQUALINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396410638642,"sku":"SS-50Z","price":15.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312833805.jpg?v=1782831295","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/aqualine-ss-50z-metal-hose-spike-3-4-fht-x-1-2-fipt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
