Midland Industries 973891 Hose Mender 3/4 in Hose Barb Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 973891 is a straight hose mender fitting designed to repair or join sections of hose using a 3/4-inch hose barb on each end. Constructed from plain black steel, this fitting delivers the durability needed in demanding fluid-transfer applications. The barbed ends grip the interior of compatible hose sections and, when secured with clamps, form a leak-resistant connection. At 0.17 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for plumbing, irrigation, and general industrial hose repair work performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or experienced maintenance technicians.

This hose mender is intended for use in residential and light commercial applications where a damaged or cut hose section must be rejoined quickly without replacing the full line. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, garden and irrigation hose runs, and general-purpose fluid transfer systems. The 3/4-inch barb-by-barb configuration makes it a direct fit for standard 3/4-inch inside-diameter hose stock. Its plain steel finish makes it suitable for environments where a coated or plated finish is not required.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch hose barb on both ends for a symmetric, in-line repair connection
• Plain black steel construction for durability in general-purpose applications
• Compact profile at approximately 0.7 inches in length for tight installation spaces
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds, minimizing added load on the hose assembly
• Barbed design secures hose with standard worm-drive or ear clamps

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement hose mender fitting for standard 3/4-inch inside-diameter hose assemblies used in plumbing, irrigation, and general industrial fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting the hose sections over the barbs. Secure each end with an appropriately rated hose clamp torqued per the clamp manufacturer's specification. Verify the connection for leaks before returning the system to service.
