Midland Industries 707002-0404 1/4 Barb X 1/4 Fpt Brass Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707002-0404 is a rigid hose barb adapter designed to connect 1/4-inch hose barb fittings to 1/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) ports. Constructed from lead-free brass, this adapter is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. At 1.6 inches in length with a 0.62-inch hex flat, it is a compact, wrench-friendly fitting suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and general fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly install this type of adapter where a flexible hose must transition to a threaded port.

This adapter is intended for use with a hose clamp, similar style clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose barb connection. It is applicable in residential and light commercial systems where a low-profile brass transition between barbed hose and FPT threaded ports is required. Typical installations include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and other fluid-handling assemblies operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits of the fitting.
