Midland Metal 707001-0808 Brass Male Adapter 1/2 in Mipt X Insert

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL 707001-0808 is a lead-free brass male adapter designed to connect 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) to a barbed insert fitting. This adapter serves as a transition fitting in water supply and fluid-handling systems where a threaded pipe or valve must mate with flexible tubing or poly pipe. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. Lead-free compliance makes it suitable for potable water applications where local codes require non-lead-bearing fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter during new construction and repair work on residential and light commercial water lines.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded connection must transition to an insert or barbed tubing connection. Typical applications include water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, and flexible tubing runs. The 1/2-inch MIPT end threads onto standard pipe fittings, valves, or manifold ports, while the insert end accepts compatible flexible tubing. Lead-free brass construction meets the requirements of jurisdictions that enforce low-lead standards for potable water fittings.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction for potable water compliance
• 1/2-inch MIPT thread on one end for standard pipe thread connections
• Insert barb end for secure connection to compatible flexible tubing
• Corrosion-resistant brass body suited for water supply service
• Sold in single-unit increments with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern male adapter for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 1/2-inch MIPT threaded ports and compatible insert-style flexible tubing or poly pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the MIPT threads before tightening; do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excess torque. The insert end should be fully seated into compatible tubing and secured with an appropriate clamp per local plumbing code requirements.
