Midland Industries 32954 1/4-in Hose Barb X 3/4-in Nptf Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32954 is a rigid male adapter designed to connect a 1/4-inch hose barb to a 3/4-inch male NPTF threaded port. Machined from brass, this fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and performs reliably across a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. The 3/4-14 thread pitch meets NPTF standards for a pressure-tight, dry-seal connection. At 1.06 inches across the hex, it seats easily with a standard open-end or adjustable wrench. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system installers use this adapter when transitioning from a threaded pipe or manifold port to a barbed hose connection.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic or hydraulic fluid transfer lines where a 1/4-inch hose must terminate at a 3/4-inch male NPTF port. It is compatible with standard hose clamps, similar-type clamps, or a crimped ferrule for secure hose retention. Its compact overall length of 1.86 inches makes it practical in tight manifold and panel installations where space is limited.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-inch ID hose secured by a hose clamp, similar-type clamp, or crimped ferrule, connecting to any 3/4-inch male NPTF threaded port in residential or light commercial fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant compatible with NPTF dry-seal threads if required by the application. Do not overtighten; use the hex flats and a proper wrench rather than gripping the body of the fitting.
