Midland Industries LF29-412 Brass Rigid Hose Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF29-412 is a lead-free brass rigid hose adapter designed to connect a 1/4-inch hose barb to a 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) fitting. Built from lead-free brass, this adapter meets plumbing code requirements for potable water and fluid-handling applications. It measures 1.86 inches in length with a 1.06-inch hex for wrench engagement. The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter when transitioning from flexible hose assemblies to threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial systems.

This adapter is suited for use in water supply, fluid transfer, and general plumbing applications where a hose-to-male-pipe-thread transition is needed. It is compatible with standard hose clamps, similar-type clamps, or a crimped ferrule for secure hose retention on the barb end. The MPT end threads directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. It is appropriate for both new installation and retrofit work in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MPT threads before threading into the mating female connection. Secure the hose to the barb end using an appropriate hose clamp or crimped ferrule to prevent leaks under pressure.
