Midland Industries 32316 Rigid Male Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32316 is a rigid male adapter fitting that connects a 3/4-inch hose barb on one end to a 1-inch male NPTF thread on the other. Manufactured from brass, it is designed for use in fluid transfer systems where a secure, leak-resistant transition between hose and threaded pipe is required. The fitting measures 2.55 inches in length with a 1.37-inch hex for wrench engagement, and it is rated to a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi across a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This adapter is suited for use in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid transfer lines where a barbed hose connection must interface with a 1-inch NPTF male threaded port. The hose barb end is intended to be secured with a hose clamp, similar-style clamp, or a crimped ferrule. It is appropriate for systems carrying water, air, or compatible fluids within its rated pressure and temperature limits.
