Midland Industries 32434 Brass 90 Degree Hose Barb Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32434 is a brass 90-degree hose barb elbow fitting designed for fluid transfer applications in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial systems. Both connection ends accept 5/8-inch hose barb connections, making it a symmetric fitting suited for routing flexible hose through tight directional changes. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and functional across a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F, this elbow handles a broad range of liquids and service conditions. The 3/4-inch body size and brass construction provide reliable corrosion resistance and durability in wet or chemically active environments. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians install this fitting in pressurized hose assemblies.

This elbow is used wherever flexible hose must make a 90-degree turn without kinking or excessive bending radius. Typical applications include hydronic heating loops, chiller connections, equipment cooling lines, pool and spa plumbing, and compressed-air hose assemblies. The fitting is designed to be secured with a standard hose clamp, a similar-type clamp, or a crimped ferrule, giving installers flexibility based on the assembly method and service requirements. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations where a compact, reliable barb elbow is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and drain the line fully before disassembling any fitting. Ensure the hose is fully seated over the barb before applying the clamp or ferrule, and verify the clamp torque meets the hose manufacturer's specifications. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the system type being serviced.
