Midland Industries 707478-1206 Rigid Adapter Mgh X Nptf Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707478-1206 is a lead-free brass rigid adapter designed to connect a 3/4-inch Male Garden Hose (MGH) thread to a 3/8-inch Male NPTF port. The adapter measures 1.25 inches in length with a 1.06-inch hex for wrench engagement. Thread specifications are 3/4-11-1/2 on the garden hose end and 3/8-18 on the NPTF end. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets requirements for potable water and other regulated fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general trade professionals install this type of adapter where a garden hose connection must transition to a threaded pipe fitting.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation work. It is used wherever a standard garden hose thread must mate with a 3/8-inch Male NPTF port, such as connecting hose bibs, portable equipment, or irrigation supply lines to NPT-ported fittings or valves. The compact profile fits in tight spaces, and the hex body allows for proper torque without damaging the fitting body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before connecting or disconnecting fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPTF threads as appropriate for the service fluid. Do not overtighten; use the hex body with a wrench to achieve a proper seal without stressing the fitting.
