Bow Plumbing Group 524306 Female Adapter Barb X Fpt Brass

Product Description

The BOW PLUMBING GROUP 524306 is a lead-free brass female adapter designed to transition between a barbed hose or tubing connection and a female pipe thread (FPT) fitting. The adapter accepts a 1/2-inch barb on one end and connects to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread on the other, making it a practical solution for joining flexible tubing to threaded pipe assemblies. Constructed from brass, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water service. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter wherever a barbed tubing line needs to terminate into a threaded port on a valve, manifold, or fixture connection point.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where flexible tubing must interface with a threaded pipe system. Common installation scenarios include water supply lines, irrigation connections, and low-pressure fluid transfer assemblies. The lead-free construction meets potable water requirements, making it appropriate for domestic water systems. Its compact brass body handles the mechanical stress of hand-tightening onto standard NPT-threaded ports without deforming under normal working conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before making any connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads mating with the FPT end of this fitting. Secure the barb end with an appropriate clamp rated for the tubing diameter and system pressure.
