Midland Industries HE68B-64 Brass Hose Mpt Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES HE68B-64 is a brass adapter body designed to connect a 3/8 inch hose end to a 1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) fitting. Built from brass, it provides reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -400 to 1200 degrees F and is rated for working pressures up to 125 psi. The 31/32-20 thread specification ensures precise fitment at the hose end. This fitting is used in air brake and fluid transfer applications where a secure hose-to-pipe connection is required. Plumbers, fleet mechanics, and fluid system technicians are the typical installers.

The HE68B-64 is suited for air brake system plumbing and related pneumatic or hydraulic hose assemblies in both commercial and industrial settings. Its brass construction makes it appropriate for use with compressed air lines, brake system tubing, and other fluid conveyance applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are priorities. This fitting falls within the MAF AIR BRAKE hose end connector body product family and is intended for professional trade use in vehicle and equipment service environments.
