Midland Industries 30258 Brass Swivel Connector 5/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 30258 is a brass swivel connector designed for fluid and gas line connections in trade plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications. One end features a 5/8-inch push-on hose barb for secure hose attachment without clamps, while the other end terminates in a 5/8-inch female SAE 45-degree flare fitting. The swivel design allows the flare end to rotate during tightening, reducing stress on connected tubing. Built from brass for corrosion resistance, this connector is rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure. The 7/8-14 thread and 1-inch hex allow for standard wrench installation. Overall length is 1.45 inches.

This fitting is suited for use in refrigeration lines, fuel systems, hydraulic hose assemblies, and other fluid transfer applications where a push-on hose barb must transition to a flared SAE connection. The swivel feature is particularly useful in tight spaces or when routing hose at an angle, allowing the installer to seat the flare cleanly without twisting the hose. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and equipment service professionals working on systems that use SAE 45-degree flare standards.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch push-on hose barb end for tool-free hose attachment
• 5/8-inch female SAE 45-degree flare end for standard flare connections
• Swivel design reduces installation torque stress on tubing and hose
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure
• 1-inch hex allows wrench tightening with standard hand tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard brass push-on hose barb to SAE 45-degree flare swivel fitting for use in systems requiring a 5/8-inch hose barb and 5/8-inch female SAE 45-degree flare connection at 150 psi or below.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified service professional. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use a backup wrench on the 1-inch hex to avoid twisting connected tubing when tightening the flare nut. Confirm the SAE 45-degree flare seat on the mating tube is clean, undamaged, and properly formed before assembly.
