Midland Industries 32329 Swivel Male Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32329 is a brass swivel male adapter designed to connect a 3/16-inch hose barb to a 1/8-inch male NPTF threaded port. The swivel feature allows the hose end to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and making tight connections easier to achieve. Built from brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability 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 liquids and gases within those limits. The 1/8-27 thread and 0.56-inch hex flat allow for standard wrench installation.

This fitting is used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems wherever a small-diameter hose must terminate at a threaded male NPTF port. It is compatible with hose clamp, similar-style clamp, or crimped ferrule attachment methods, giving the installer flexibility in how the hose end is secured. The compact 2-inch overall length suits installations where space is limited. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters commonly install this type of adapter in low-pressure fluid circuits, pneumatic lines, and light hydraulic assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and mechanical technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid to the NPTF threads; do not use sealant on the hose barb end. Use a wrench on the 0.56-inch hex to tighten the threaded connection - do not over-torque brass fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
