Midland Industries 707489-1204 Straight Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 707489-1204 is a lead-free brass straight adapter that connects a 3/4-inch male garden hose thread to a 1/4-inch compression fitting. This fitting is used to bridge garden hose supply lines to smaller-diameter compression tubing in a single, compact body. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water standards, making it appropriate for drinking water and general plumbing service. Measuring approximately 1.2 inches in length and 1.1 inches in width, it fits in tight spaces without requiring additional adapters. Licensed plumbers and experienced trades installers handle this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing where a garden hose connection must transition to a 1/4-inch compression line. Common install scenarios include connecting a hose bib supply to a small-diameter tubing run, ice maker supply lines, filtration system inlets, and similar low-pressure water service applications. The compression end accepts standard 1/4-inch OD tubing without soldering, making it a practical choice for service calls requiring a quick, reliable transition between connection types.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 3/4-inch male garden hose thread on one end for standard hose bib connection
• 1/4-inch compression fitting on the opposite end for solderless tubing attachment
• Compact body at approximately 1.2 inches in length for use in confined spaces
• Single-piece straight adapter eliminates the need for additional couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit adapter for plumbing applications requiring a transition from a 3/4-inch male garden hose thread to a 1/4-inch compression connection on standard OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trades technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or removing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the garden hose thread end first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to snug the compression nut - do not overtighten, as excess force can deform the compression seat. Verify the connection is leak-free under service pressure before returning the line to normal operation.
