Midland Industries 30571 Long Shank Hex Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 30571 is a long shank hex adapter designed to transition between a 5/8 inch garden hose barbed connection and a 3/4 inch male NPSM threaded connection. Machined from brass, this fitting is built for reliable performance in water supply and garden hose applications. It features a 1.06 inch hex body for standard wrench installation and measures 2.18 inches in overall length with a 1.5 inch thread length. The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 75 psi and is approved for use across an operating temperature range of 35 to 100 degrees F. Plumbers and irrigation installers turn to this style of adapter when connecting flexible hose lines to threaded outlet ports.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial water distribution scenarios where a barbed hose connection must mate to an NPSM threaded port. Typical applications include outdoor spigot extensions, irrigation system hookups, and hose bib assemblies. The long shank design provides added thread engagement and a more secure barb-to-hose interface, making it appropriate for installations where vibration or movement could otherwise loosen a standard short shank fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape to the NPSM threads in accordance with standard plumbing practice and local IPC requirements. Do not overtighten the barbed end onto the hose; secure with an appropriate clamp for a leak-free connection.
