Midland Industries LF29F-64 Rigid Hose Barb Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF29F-64 is a rigid hose barb adapter designed to connect a 3/8-inch hose to a 1/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and plumbing applications. It measures 1.61 inches in length with a 0.62-inch hex for wrench installation. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F, this adapter is built for reliable service in demanding fluid-handling systems. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water supply, and fluid distribution systems where a hose-to-female-pipe-thread transition is required. The barbed end is compatible with use alongside a hose clamp, similar-type clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose connection. It fits into plumbing, water treatment, and general-purpose fluid-handling lines where lead-free brass fittings are specified or required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system completely before disassembling any fittings. Use a wrench on the hex to tighten the FPT threads and apply thread sealant or tape as required by local plumbing codes. Secure the hose end with an appropriate clamp or crimped ferrule to maintain a leak-free connection.
