Dura Plastic Products 500-005 Pvc Swivel Adapter

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PRODUCTS 500-005 is a PVC swivel adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch female hose thread (FHT) fitting to a 1/2 inch insert barb connection. The swivel design allows the hose-thread end to rotate freely during assembly, reducing torque stress on connected tubing and making hand-tightening straightforward without twisting the line. This fitting is used in low-pressure irrigation, pool, and water distribution applications where a transition from threaded hose connections to barbed insert fittings is required. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals typically install this type of adapter as part of a larger piping assembly.

This adapter suits residential and light commercial water distribution systems where a garden-hose-thread supply must transition to a 1/2 inch insert barb for flexible tubing or poly pipe. It is commonly found in drip irrigation headers, pool equipment plumbing, and seasonal water supply lines. The PVC construction holds up well in outdoor and wet environments, and the swivel action simplifies installation in tight or awkward plumbing runs where alignment is difficult.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch FHT swivel end threads onto standard garden hose thread fittings without twisting the line
• 1/2 inch insert barb end accepts standard 1/2 inch flexible tubing or poly pipe
• PVC construction resists corrosion and is suitable for water service in outdoor and wet environments
• Swivel design reduces assembly stress and simplifies hand-tightening in confined spaces
• Order increment of 1 allows single-piece purchasing for repair and replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or retrofit swivel adapter for irrigation, pool, and general water distribution systems using standard 3/4 inch female hose thread and 1/2 inch insert barb connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber, irrigation technician, or pool service professional. Shut off water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the FHT swivel end onto the mating male hose thread, then secure the 1/2 inch insert barb into the tubing using an appropriate clamp or crimp ring rated for the application. Do not overtighten the swivel collar, as PVC threads can crack under excess torque.
