Midland Industries LF29S-8 Brass Hose Barb Splicer 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES LF29S-8 is a lead-free brass hose barb splicer designed to join two lengths of flexible hose in a straight-line configuration. It features identical 1/2-inch hose barb connections on both ends, making it suitable for repair or extension work on fluid-carrying hose assemblies. The fitting measures 0.62 inches in outer diameter and 2 inches in length. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure with a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F, it handles a wide variety of liquid transfer applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals commonly specify lead-free brass fittings where potable water or regulated fluid systems are involved.

This splicer is intended for use with hose clamps, similar-style clamps, or crimped ferrules, giving installers flexibility in how they terminate the connection. It fits standard 1/2-inch flexible hose and is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation branch lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure hose assemblies. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for installations where lead-free materials are mandated by code.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-inch flexible hose assemblies secured by hose clamps, similar-type clamps, or crimped ferrules in residential and commercial fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly completely before cutting into the line or removing an existing fitting. Insert each barbed end fully into the hose before applying the clamp or ferrule to ensure a leak-free seal. Verify that the selected clamp or ferrule type is rated for the intended operating pressure and temperature range.
