The swivel end allows rotational movement during installation, reducing hose twist and stress at the connection point. Built from brass, the fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. The 1\/2-14 thread and 0.94-inch hex allow for straightforward wrench engagement. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC mechanics in fluid transfer and hose assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 29FS-68 is suited for residential and light commercial hose assembly work where a flexible, rotatable end connection is required. The hose barb end accepts hose secured with a hose clamp, a similar-style clamp, or a crimped ferrule. This makes it compatible with standard hose termination methods used in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial fluid transfer lines operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch hose barb inlet accepts standard hose with clamp or crimped ferrule retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch female NPSM swivel outlet allows rotation to eliminate hose twist during makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.94-inch hex for wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid transfer service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with hose assemblies secured by hose clamps, similar-style clamps, or crimped ferrules on the 3\/8-inch barb end, and threaded connections using 1\/2-14 NPSM female swivel on the outlet end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off system pressure and relieve any residual line pressure before disconnecting or installing fittings. Use a wrench on the 0.94-inch hex to tighten the swivel nut  -  do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Ensure the hose barb end is fully inserted into the hose before securing with the appropriate clamp or ferrule per the hose manufacturer's recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (Hose Barb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (Female NPSM Swivel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Retention Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose clamp, similar-type clamp, crimped ferrule\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29FS-68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949367460146,"sku":"29FS-68","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9dc45212c35cae727278a89be786359c_9929121e-1566-4170-a06d-0bf7d03eed0b.jpg?v=1791690317","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-29fs-68-ball-end-swivel-connector-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
