Midland Industries 32075 Ball End Swivel Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32075 is a brass ball end swivel adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch hose end to a 3/8-inch female NPSM port. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate freely after assembly, reducing torsional stress on the hose and connection point. Built from brass, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in fluid-handling applications. It carries a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and is rated for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for a range of liquid and low-pressure pneumatic service. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe fitters install this type of adapter in hose assembly and distribution line work.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid distribution systems where a hose-to-threaded-port transition is required. The 3/8-18 thread size and 3/4-inch hex configuration allow standard wrench installation. It is designed for use with a hose clamp, similar type clamp, or a crimped ferrule at the hose end, giving installers flexibility in termination method depending on the application and pressure requirements.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard wrench on the 3/4-inch hex. Ensure the mating hose is properly secured with a clamp or crimped ferrule before pressurizing the line. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the system before servicing or replacing this fitting. Do not exceed the rated pressure or temperature limits for the application.
