Midland Industries 34713 Tailpiece 1/4in Barb X 3/16in Swivel Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 34713 is a stainless steel hose barb tailpiece designed to create a reliable fluid connection between a barbed hose end and a swivel fitting. It features a 1/4 inch barbed inlet on one end and a 3/16 inch swivel connection on the other. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi. This tailpiece is suited for low-flow fluid transfer applications where corrosion resistance and a secure, leak-free connection are required. Plumbers, refrigeration techs, and beverage equipment technicians are the typical installers.

The 34713 tailpiece is commonly used in beverage dispensing systems, light plumbing assemblies, and similar fluid-handling setups where a barb-to-swivel transition is needed. Its compact profile fits in tight spaces within equipment cabinets and behind counter installations. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use with water, CO2 lines, and other compatible media found in commercial beverage service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or qualified beverage equipment technician. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the mating swivel nut is properly seated and hand-tightened before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable plumbing codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fitting selection and pressure ratings.
