Midland Industries 707046-0812 Hose Barb Swivel Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707046-0812 is a straight hex swivel adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch hose barb to a 3/4-inch female garden hose swivel fitting. Constructed from lead-free brass, this adapter meets modern potable-water and environmental compliance requirements. The 1.18-inch hex body allows for clean wrench engagement during installation and removal. At 1.82 inches in length with a 3/4-11-1/2 thread specification, the fitting is compact and suited for tight-access plumbing or irrigation connections. The swivel design on the garden hose end reduces hose twist and stress at the connection point, making it a practical choice for both permanent and seasonal installations.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation applications where a barbed hose connection must interface with a standard garden hose thread. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible tubing to hose bibs, irrigation manifolds, portable equipment, or outdoor water supply lines. The fitting is rated for an operating temperature range of 35 to 100 degrees F, making it appropriate for seasonal outdoor use. The 1.19-inch barb size ensures a secure grip on compatible flexible hose. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and experienced DIYers are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician where code compliance is required. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Apply thread sealant tape to male threads as appropriate, and do not overtighten the swivel fitting, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify that the hose barb is fully seated and secured with an appropriate clamp before restoring flow.
