Midland Industries 707002-0302 Brass Hose Barb Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707002-0302 is a rigid brass hose barb adapter designed to connect a 3/16-inch barbed hose end to a 1/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets current standards for potable water and fluid-handling applications. It measures 1.1 inches in length with a 1/2-inch hex for wrench installation. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F, this adapter is a reliable choice for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working with small-diameter hose assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and fluid-transfer systems where a small-bore hose must terminate at a threaded port. The hose barb end is compatible with use alongside a hose clamp, similar-style clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose. Its compact size and standard FPT thread make it a common service fitting in tight spaces such as equipment panels, manifold assemblies, and appliance connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Shut off the fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe compound to the FPT threads before tightening. Use a wrench on the 1/2-inch hex to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without over-torquing the fitting body.
