Constructed from brass, this fitting features a 3\/8-inch NPTF threaded end and accepts hose with a 1\/2-inch inner diameter. The NPTF thread form creates a dry-seal connection, reducing the need for additional thread sealant in many installations. At 2.43 inches overall length and weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for plumbing, hydraulic, and industrial fluid-handling systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydraulic lines, and general industrial hose assemblies where a reusable threaded male stem connection is required. The reusable design allows the fitting to be removed and reinstalled without damaging the hose, making it practical for maintenance-heavy applications. It is compatible with flexible hose assemblies where a 1\/2-inch hose ID and a 3\/8-inch NPTF male thread interface are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid transfer service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch NPTF thread provides a dry-seal threaded connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 1\/2-inch inner diameter hose for a secure mechanical grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable design allows removal and reinstallation without hose damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact at 2.43 inches overall length and 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with flexible hoses having a 1\/2-inch inner diameter and systems requiring a 3\/8-inch NPTF male stem threaded fitting interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
