Midland Industries 73028 High Pressure Hose Stem 2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 73028 is a high pressure hose stem fitting designed to connect 2-inch tube OD to 2-inch hose barbed configurations in fluid-handling and pneumatic piping systems. This fitting uses a 2-11-1/2 thread specification and is built for demanding pressure applications where a secure, leak-resistant connection between rigid tube and flexible hose is required. At 1.77 pounds, it is a solid, durable component suited for industrial and mechanical service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this type of fitting when bridging tube-to-hose transitions in high pressure lines.

This hose stem is applicable in industrial fluid transfer, compressed air, hydraulic, and related piping systems where high pressure hose barb connections to tube OD fittings are needed. It falls within the hose fittings product category, specifically hose stems, and is appropriate for both commercial and industrial installation scenarios. The 2-inch connection size on both ends makes it suited for larger-diameter line applications requiring a reliable mechanical joint.

Key Features

• 2-inch tube OD connection on one end for rigid tube attachment
• 2-inch hose barbed connection on the opposite end for flexible hose retention
• 2-11-1/2 thread specification for consistent high pressure fitment
• High pressure rated design suited for demanding fluid and pneumatic service
• Compact profile at 1.77 pounds for ease of handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hose stem replacement or new-installation fitting for high pressure tube OD to hose barbed connections in industrial and mechanical piping systems requiring 2-inch connections with a 2-11-1/2 thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with high pressure fluid or pneumatic systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this stem. Ensure the hose barb end is secured with an appropriately rated hose clamp or crimp sleeve rated for the system pressure. Follow applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes when making high pressure connections.
