Midland Industries 707002-0304 Brass Hose Barb Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707002-0304 is a rigid brass hose barb adapter designed for connecting flexible hose to threaded female pipe fittings in fluid-handling systems. The barbed end measures 3/16 inch and connects to standard flexible hose secured with a hose clamp, similar clamp, or crimped ferrule. The opposite end is 1/4 inch FPT for direct threaded engagement. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and other regulated applications. It carries a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and is rated for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for a range of plumbing and fluid system uses.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, refrigeration drain connections, and similar small-diameter fluid-handling applications. It is suited for installations where a flexible hose must transition to a rigid female-threaded port. The 0.62 inch hex allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. At 1.44 inches in length, it is compact enough for tight spaces common in equipment cabinetry and utility connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes. Secure the hose to the barbed end with an appropriate clamp or crimped ferrule to prevent leakage under operating pressure.
