Midland Industries 103GH Straight Swivel Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 103GH is a straight swivel adapter machined from brass, designed to transition a 3/4-inch Female Garden Hose (FGH) thread to a 3/8-inch Male NPTF swivel connection. The swivel design allows rotation during installation, reducing hose twist and making connections faster in tight spaces. Rated to 75 psi maximum operating pressure with a temperature range of 35 to 100 degrees F, this fitting suits low-pressure water supply and irrigation applications. Thread specifications are 3/4-11-1/2 on the garden hose end and 3/8-18 on the NPTF end. Overall length is 1.43 inches with a 1.18-inch hex. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general contractors install this fitting in light-duty water service connections.

The 103GH is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a garden hose outlet must transition to a threaded pipe connection. Common install scenarios include connecting hose bibs, portable equipment, irrigation manifolds, or utility water supplies to 3/8-inch NPTF-ported valves, pumps, or fittings. The brass construction holds up in both indoor and outdoor environments within the rated temperature range. This adapter is well-suited for service and maintenance work where a swivel connection simplifies coupling without twisting the supply line.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for applications requiring a Female Garden Hose to Male NPTF swivel transition in light-duty water service piping.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connection. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the Male NPTF threads per IPC guidelines; the garden hose end uses a washer seal and does not require thread sealant. Do not exceed the 75 psi rated operating pressure or operate outside the 35 to 100 degrees F temperature range.
