Midland Industries 32332 Swivel Male Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32332 is a swivel male adapter designed for low-pressure fluid and air transfer applications. It connects a 1/4-inch hose barb on one end to a 1/8-inch male NPTF thread on the other, allowing a hose assembly to rotate freely without twisting the line. Constructed from brass, this fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. The 1/8-27 NPTF thread provides a dry-seal connection. The overall length is 2.19 inches, and the hex measures 0.56 inches across flats for standard wrench engagement. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service pros install this type of fitting in tubing and hose assemblies where rotational flexibility is required.

This swivel male adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and pneumatic tubing systems where a 1/4-inch hose must transition to a 1/8-inch NPTF male port. The swivel feature reduces stress on the hose during installation and in service. The fitting is designed for use with a hose clamp, similar type clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the barb end. Its compact brass construction makes it a practical choice in tight spaces and corrosion-prone environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch barb to 1/8-inch male NPTF transition with swivel capability. Suitable for use with standard hose clamps, similar type clamps, or crimped ferrules.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified service pros working on fluid or pneumatic systems. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. The NPTF thread is a dry-seal design and generally does not require thread sealant tape, but follow your applicable code or manufacturer guidance. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex flats to avoid deforming the fitting body.
