Midland Industries 32966 Barb Male Fuel Adapter 1 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32966 is a single barb male fuel adapter designed to connect flexible hose to threaded pipe fittings in fuel and fluid transfer applications. One end features a 1-inch single barb connection that accepts push-on or clamped hose, while the other end provides a 1-inch male NPTF thread for a pressure-tight seal against a female threaded port. Machined from brass, this fitting resists corrosion and handles the demands of petroleum-based fuel lines. The 1-11.5 thread pitch conforms to NPTF standards for dry-seal connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fuel system technicians install this fitting in commercial and residential settings where a reliable hose-to-pipe transition is required.

This adapter is suited for fuel systems, petroleum fluid transfer lines, and general-purpose liquid plumbing where a single barb-to-male threaded connection is needed. The brass construction makes it compatible with gasoline, diesel, oil, and many water-based fluids. It is a common choice for connecting flexible hose runs to threaded manifolds, pumps, tanks, and valves in both fixed installations and mobile equipment. The 1-inch size handles moderate to high flow rates for its connection class.

Key Features

• 1-inch single barb end accepts flexible hose secured with a clamp or crimp ring

• Single-piece body with no internal restrictions that would impede flow at the fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1-inch single barb to 1-inch male NPTF hose-to-pipe transition in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified fuel system technicians. Shut off all fuel supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant rated for fuel service to the NPTF threads per the fitting manufacturer and applicable code requirements; secure the hose end with an appropriately rated clamp or crimp ferrule. Follow all applicable codes including IFGC, IPC, and local fuel-system ordinances where relevant.
