Midland Industries SS43-08-08MP Crimp Hose Adapter 316 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS43-08-08MP is a straight rigid crimp hose adapter designed to connect a 1/2-inch crimp hose end to a 1/2-inch male NPT port. Built from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. It measures 3.114 inches in length and carries a 1/2-14 NPT thread specification. The 316 alloy is well suited for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics install this type of fitting where a permanent, leak-free crimp connection to a threaded port is required.

The SS43-08-08MP belongs to the 43 Series of stainless steel crimp hose fittings from MIDLAND INDUSTRIES, a line built specifically for rigid straight male pipe connections. This adapter is intended for use with crimp hoses carrying a dash size 8 designation. Typical applications include hydraulic lines, high-temperature fluid transfer systems, and industrial plumbing assemblies where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. It is equally applicable in commercial and light industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber familiar with NPT thread sealing practices. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly and torque to the fitting manufacturer's recommended value per the applicable piping code. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any hose fitting. Do not over-crimp - use a calibrated crimping tool sized for the hose dash size to avoid deforming the ferrule or fitting body.
