Midland Industries 707001-1616 Brass Hose Barb Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707001-1616 is a rigid hose barb male adapter machined from lead-free brass. It connects a 1-inch hose barb end to a 1-inch male NPT (MNPTF) threaded port, making it a direct interface between flexible hose assemblies and threaded pipe or equipment fittings. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and suited for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F, this adapter handles a broad range of fluid transfer and plumbing applications. The 1.37-inch hex flat allows for wrench engagement during installation, and the overall length of 2.48 inches provides adequate body for secure hose seating.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer systems where flexible hose must terminate into a threaded male NPT connection. It is designed for use with a hose clamp, similar style clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose end. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in water supply, transfer pump, and general-purpose fluid line applications where a reliable hose-to-pipe transition is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the MNPTF threads per the applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Do not overtighten the threaded connection; use the hex flat and a properly sized wrench to achieve a firm, leak-free seat without stressing the fitting body.
