Midland Industries LF-125-DP Long Shank Hose Fitting

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF-125-DP is a long shank hose fitting designed for secure hose-to-pipe connections in fluid transfer applications. Constructed from steel with a malleable iron body, this fitting features a 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection that threads onto standard pipe ends while accepting a hose barb or hose end on the shank side. The extended shank length provides additional grip surface for hose clamps, reducing the risk of blowoff under pressure. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water supply, irrigation, and general industrial hose assemblies where a reliable threaded-to-hose transition is required.

This long shank fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and industrial fluid transfer lines. The 1-1/4 inch FPT inlet connects directly to threaded pipe or fittings, making it a practical choice wherever a hose needs to terminate at a threaded pipe connection. It is appropriate for use in above-ground assemblies and maintenance applications where accessible connections are standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before making up the FPT connection and tighten to hand-tight plus appropriate turns per IPC guidelines. Secure the hose to the shank with a properly sized hose clamp to prevent leaks or blowoff under operating pressure.
