Midland Industries 30103B Brass Barstock Garden Hose Cap

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 30103B is a brass barstock cap designed to terminate female garden hose (FGH) connections. It threads onto a 3/4-inch FGH port using a 3/4-11-1/2 thread profile, sealing the line and preventing contamination or unintended flow. Rated to a maximum operating pressure of 75 psi, this cap handles typical residential and light commercial water supply demands. The barstock construction machined from brass provides corrosion resistance and durability suited to outdoor and wet environments. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and facilities maintenance professionals install this fitting as a hose bib termination or temporary service cap.

This cap is intended for garden hose thread applications across residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems. Common install scenarios include capping unused hose bib outlets, winterizing exterior faucets, and sealing hose connections during service work. The 3/4-inch FGH size is the standard garden hose thread size found on most residential exterior spigots and hose-end fittings. The operating temperature range of 35 to 100 degrees F makes it suitable for seasonal outdoor use in most climates.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any hose end fitting. Thread the cap onto the FGH port by hand until snug, then tighten with an appropriate wrench - avoid overtightening brass fittings to prevent thread damage. Apply thread sealant tape compatible with potable water systems if a permanent seal is required.
