Midland Industries 33062P 1/2 in Barb X 3/8 in Fip Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 33062P is a polypropylene hose barb adapter designed to connect 1/2 inch hose barb fittings to 3/8 inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded ports. It provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant transition point between flexible hose and threaded pipe connections in low-pressure fluid systems. Rated to 125 psi maximum operating pressure, this adapter is appropriate for water, mild chemical, and general-purpose liquid transfer applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation contractors install this type of fitting where barbed hose assemblies must terminate at a threaded female port.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation systems, and fluid transfer setups requiring a barb-to-FIP transition. The polypropylene construction makes it a practical choice in corrosive or moisture-heavy environments where metal fittings are undesirable. It is installed by hand-threading the FIP end onto a male pipe port and securing the hose with a clamp over the barbed end. Its compact profile fits in tight spaces behind mechanical equipment or within panel enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system before replacing or installing this fitting. Apply thread sealant tape to the FIP threads and hand-tighten before using a wrench for final seating. Secure flexible hose to the barbed end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure.
