Midland Industries 32468 Brass Swivel Adapter 1/2 in Nptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32468 is a brass pipe swivel adapter designed to connect 1/2-inch female NPSM to 1/2-inch male NPTF threads. The swivel function allows the fitting to rotate after assembly, reducing stress on connected lines and making alignment easier in tight or awkward installations. Built from brass, it resists corrosion in both wet and dry service environments. At 0.28 pounds and measuring approximately 2.05 inches in length and 1.05 inches in width, this compact fitting suits a range of pipe system applications where a low-profile, rotatable connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This swivel adapter is suited for residential and light commercial pipe systems where NPTF-threaded connections are standard. Typical install scenarios include plumbing supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydraulic or fluid-transfer piping where thread alignment flexibility is required. The brass construction makes it compatible with water, air, and many other media commonly found in mechanical and plumbing systems. Its compact footprint allows use in confined spaces where rigid adapters would complicate assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPTF threads as appropriate for the service media. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
