Midland Industries 30457 Brass Hose Barb Coupling Set 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 30457 is a brass hose barb coupling set designed to create secure, leak-resistant connections between two sections of flexible hose. The set includes a hex nut for a positive mechanical lock, eliminating the need for additional clamps on standard garden hose applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting resists corrosion and handles operating temperatures from 35 degrees F to 100 degrees F. Both connection ends are 1/2 inch hose barb fittings, making the assembly straightforward for irrigation techs, plumbers, and field service personnel working with flexible line repairs or extensions.

This coupling set is rated for garden hose service and is suited to residential and light commercial irrigation, lawn care, and general-purpose water transfer applications. The knurled body and included hex nut allow hand-tightening followed by a wrench snug, keeping installation simple in the field. At 0.195 pounds, the fitting is compact enough for utility pouches and service vans. It is categorized as a short shank set with knurled body and hex nut, consistent with standard garden hose repair and extension use cases.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Insert each barbed end fully into the hose before seating the hex nut, and use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the nut without over-torquing the brass fitting. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes for hose and irrigation connections.
