Midland Industries HM-16 Brass Hose Mender 1 in Hose Barb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES HM-16 is a brass hose mender designed to splice or repair a damaged section of hose using a barbed insert connection on both ends. The fitting accepts 1-inch hose barb connections on each side, allowing a technician to cut out a compromised section and restore hose continuity without replacing the full run. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F, this mender handles demanding service conditions across plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial fluid transfer applications. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and holds up to repeated use in wet or outdoor environments.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial settings wherever a 1-inch hose line requires a mid-run repair or splice. Typical applications include garden and irrigation hose repair, low-pressure water transfer lines, and general fluid conveyance where a barbed push-on or clamp-secured connection is appropriate. Plumbers, irrigation installers, and maintenance technicians reach for this style of fitting when a quick, reliable in-line repair is needed without soldering or threading.

Key Features

• Dual 1-inch hose barb connections for in-line hose splicing and repair
• 150 psi maximum operating pressure for general fluid transfer service
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or serviceable fitting for 1-inch inside-diameter hose barb applications in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Shut off water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting the hose or removing any existing fittings. Insert each barbed end fully into the hose and secure with appropriately sized hose clamps to maintain a leak-free connection at rated pressure. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for the specific fluid and service conditions.
