Midland Industries 32412 90 Deg Hose Barb Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32412 is a 90-degree brass hose barb elbow fitting designed to connect two flexible hoses at a right angle in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic systems. It features a 1/4-inch barb on one end and a 1/8-inch barb on the other, making it a reducing elbow suited for routing hose lines where direction changes and a size transition are needed in the same fitting. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and rated for service from -40 to 160 degrees F, this fitting handles a broad range of temperatures common in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment service techs are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever flexible hose must change direction and transition between 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch barb connections. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, refrigeration accessory tubing, fuel lines, and pneumatic control circuits. The fitting is secured using a hose clamp, similar-type clamp, or a crimped ferrule over the hose barb. Its compact body size of 0.44 inches keeps the assembly tight in confined spaces, and the center-to-end dimension of 1.02 x 1.02 inches aids in layout planning.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical service professionals. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Seat the hose barb fully into the hose bore before applying the clamp or ferrule to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable codes such as IPC or IFGC when used in regulated systems.
