Midland Industries 32098LF Brass Hose Barb Splicer 3/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32098LF is a lead-free brass hose barb splicer designed to join two lengths of hose in a straight-line configuration. Both ends accept 3/4-inch hose barb connections, making it a symmetrical union fitting used to repair, extend, or splice flexible hose runs. Built from lead-free brass, it meets potable water standards and carries a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi with a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians install this type of fitting in water supply, fluid transfer, and general-purpose hose assemblies where a reliable barbed connection is required.

This splicer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-handling applications where flexible hose must be joined without a threaded end. The fitting measures 0.87 inches in outside diameter and 2.5 inches in length, sized for standard 3/4-inch hose. It is compatible with hose clamps, similar compression-style clamps, and crimped ferrules, giving installers flexibility in the termination method. Lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems where lead-free compliance is required by code.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before replacing or installing any hose fitting. Insert each barb fully into the hose end before applying the clamp or ferrule to ensure a leak-free seal. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for lead-free materials in potable water systems.
