Midland Industries 707046-1012 Straight Hex Swivel Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707046-1012 is a straight hex swivel adapter designed to connect a 5/8-inch hose barb to a 3/4-inch female garden hose swivel thread. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and general plumbing applications. The 3/4-11-1/2 thread standard ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection at the female garden hose end, while the 1.18-inch hex body allows for wrench-assisted tightening. Overall length is 1.82 inches, with a barb size of 1.19 inches. The swivel design at the female end simplifies hose attachment and reduces torque stress on the hose assembly. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation, garden hose hookups, and water supply connections where a hose barb-to-female garden hose transition is required. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for applications involving potable water lines. It is rated for operating temperatures between 35 and 100 degrees F, making it well suited for seasonal outdoor water system installations. The 5/8-inch barb end accepts compatible flexible hose, while the swivel end threads onto standard garden hose fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before connecting or disconnecting any fittings. Hand-tighten the swivel connection first, then use an appropriately sized wrench on the hex body to snug the fitting without over-torquing the brass. Ensure the hose barb end is fully inserted into compatible flexible hose and secured with an appropriate clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure.
