Midland Industries LF29-48 Rigid Hose Barb Adapter 1/4x1/2 Mpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF29-48 is a rigid hose barb adapter designed to connect a 1/4 inch hose end to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) fitting. Constructed from lead-free brass, this adapter meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and plumbing applications. It measures 1.72 inches in length with a 0.87 inch hex for wrench engagement. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F, this adapter suits a wide range of fluid handling environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation professionals install this fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer systems where a hose line must terminate at a threaded port. The barb end accepts a hose clamp, similar style clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose connection. The MPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port or valve body. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for installations subject to lead-free mandates under applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or system pressure before installation and depressurize the line completely. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before threading into the receiving fitting. Do not overtighten; use the hex for wrench-assisted tightening and confirm the hose end is secured with an appropriate clamp or ferrule before restoring pressure.
