Midland Industries 33066P 1/2 Barb X 1/4 Fip Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 33066P is a hose barb-to-female adapter fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to threaded female pipe ports. It features a 1/2 inch hose barb on one end and a 1/4 inch female iron pipe (FIP) thread on the other. Constructed from polypropylene, this adapter resists corrosion and is suitable for low-pressure fluid transfer applications. It is a common component in plumbing, irrigation, chemical handling, and light industrial fluid systems where transitioning from rigid pipe threads to flexible hose is required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where a polypropylene construction is preferred for chemical compatibility or weight savings over metal fittings. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible tubing runs to threaded ports on pumps, tanks, manifolds, or distribution headers. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and fluid-handling system installers are the primary trades working with this type of fitting.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch hose barb end secures flexible tubing with a clamp or crimp for a leak-resistant connection
• 1/4 inch FIP threaded end connects to standard female iron pipe threaded ports
• Polypropylene construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility in fluid transfer applications
• Lightweight plastic body reduces overall system weight compared to metal alternatives
• Compact adapter design simplifies transitions between hose and threaded pipe connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic hose barb and female pipe thread applications in low-pressure fluid handling systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by plumbers or irrigation technicians following applicable IPC or system manufacturer guidelines. Shut off all fluid supply and relieve line pressure before installation or removal. Use an appropriate hose clamp or crimp ring over the barb end to secure the flexible tubing and prevent blowoff. Do not overtighten the FIP threaded connection, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque.
