Midland Industries 34711 3/16 in Barbed Swivel Tailpiece

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 34711 is a 3/16 inch barbed swivel tailpiece constructed from 304 stainless steel. It serves as a hose-end connector, joining flexible beverage-grade tubing to threaded or barbed fittings in low-pressure fluid systems. The swivel design allows rotation during installation, reducing hose twist and simplifying routing in tight spaces. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure, this tailpiece is suited for commercial and food-service beverage dispensing lines. Installation is handled by plumbers, pipefitters, or beverage equipment technicians working on draft beer, soda, or similar fluid distribution systems.

This tailpiece is designed for use in beverage dispensing systems where stainless steel construction is required for corrosion resistance and sanitary compliance. The 3/16 inch barbed end seats securely onto compatible flexible tubing, and the swivel feature allows the fitting to be oriented without stressing the hose. Typical applications include draft beverage lines, post-mix carbonated drink systems, and other low-pressure fluid handling assemblies found in commercial food-service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified plumber or beverage equipment technician. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the barbed end is fully seated onto the hose and secured with an appropriate clamp to prevent blowoff under operating pressure. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for beverage-grade fluid systems.
