Midland Industries CNT-125-B Combination King Nipple

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES CNT-125-B is a brass combination king nipple designed to transition between a hose barbed connection and a male pipe thread (MPT) connection in a single fitting. The barbed end accepts a 1-1/4 inch hose, while the MPT end threads directly into a female pipe fitting or equipment port. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in wet service environments. This fitting is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation contractors where flexible hose assemblies connect to threaded pipe systems.

This king nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and fluid transfer systems. The combination design eliminates the need for a separate barb adapter and nipple, reducing connection points in the assembly. Both connection ends measure 1-1/4 inches, making this a straight-size fitting with no reduction in flow path diameter.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch hose barb end secures flexible hose with a clamp for a leak-resistant seal
• 1-1/4 inch male NPT end threads into standard female pipe fittings
• Solid brass construction resists corrosion in wet and humid service conditions
• Single-piece combination design reduces the number of joints in the assembly
• Straight 1-1/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch sizing maintains full flow path diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-1/4 inch hose barb and 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before making up the joint hand-tight, then wrench-tighten to avoid over-stressing the brass fitting. Secure the hose end with an appropriately sized worm-gear clamp and verify no leaks at both connections before returning the system to service.
