Midland Industries PL-150-AD Short Shank Fitting 1-1/2 Nps

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES PL-150-AD is an aluminum short shank hose fitting set designed for fluid transfer applications in plumbing and industrial hose assemblies. This male-by-female set features 1-1/2 inch NPS connections on both ends, providing a straight-through coupling point for compatible hose lines. Aluminum construction keeps weight low at 0.57 pounds while offering adequate corrosion resistance for a range of general-purpose fluid handling environments. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipe fitters install this type of fitting when assembling or repairing hose-to-pipe connections in water, light chemical, or pneumatic systems.

Short shank hose fittings like the PL-150-AD are used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid transfer setups. The 1-1/2 inch NPS sizing is common in drain, waste, and vent lines as well as in process piping where hose-end connections are required. This set is suited for applications where a compact shank length is preferred over a long shank configuration, keeping the assembly profile tight in confined spaces or when working with shorter hose ends.

Key Features

• Aluminum body construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance
• 1-1/2 inch NPS connection on both ends for consistent sizing across the assembly
• Short shank profile suitable for tight-clearance hose installations
• Male-by-female (M x F) set configuration for direct hose-to-pipe coupling
• Minimum order quantity of one unit for single-repair applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style short shank hose fitting replacement for applications requiring 1-1/2 inch NPS male-by-female aluminum hose end connections in plumbing and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipe fitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before disassembling existing fittings or installing this set. Inspect the hose end for wear or cracking before securing the shank to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for hose fitting installations in pressurized systems.
