Midland Industries LF29F-88 Rigid Brass Hose Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF29F-88 is a lead-free brass rigid adapter designed to connect a 1/2 inch hose barb end to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) fitting. Built from lead-free brass, it meets drinking water compliance standards common in plumbing and fluid transfer applications. The fitting measures 1.76 inches in length with a 0.93 inch hex for wrench engagement. It handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and is rated for temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and experienced tradespeople install this type of adapter in water supply, irrigation, and general fluid system work.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation lines, and fluid transfer systems where a hose-to-pipe-thread transition is needed. It is designed for use with a hose clamp, similar-type clamp, or a crimped ferrule to secure the hose-side connection. Applications include potable water lines, liquid handling systems, and anywhere a reliable, pressure-rated barb-to-FPT transition is required in a lead-free installation.
