Nibco B035650 Cast Copper Hose Adapter 3/4x1/2 Ftg X Hose

Product Description

The NIBCO B035650 is a cast copper hose adapter designed to transition between a 3/4 inch sweat fitting (FTG) connection and a 1/2 inch hose end. It is rated as a pressure fitting, making it suitable for potable water, irrigation, and general plumbing pressure applications. The cast copper construction provides durability and corrosion resistance in both residential and light commercial environments. This adapter is sized at 3/4 inch on the fitting side and 1/2 inch on the hose side, allowing connection of standard garden hose or hose-thread fittings directly to a sweat copper line. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a sweat copper supply line must terminate at or connect to a hose-thread end point. Common applications include outdoor hose bibb work, equipment drain connections, and irrigation system tie-ins. Its pressure fitting designation confirms it is built for pressurized service rather than drain or vent use. The 3/4 inch FTG side accepts standard 3/4 inch copper tubing for soldering directly into the fitting socket.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering. Clean and flux the copper tubing and fitting socket thoroughly prior to applying heat. Follow local plumbing codes and ASTM B584 material requirements when specifying this fitting for pressurized systems.
