Parker 12336 Female Hose to Male Hose Fitting 3/4x1/4 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 12336 is a brass garden hose fitting designed to connect a female hose thread to a male hose thread in a single adapter. Built from solid brass, this fitting provides reliable, corrosion-resistant performance in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing applications. With a thread configuration of 3/4 inch female hose to 1/4 inch male hose, it bridges two common hose thread sizes cleanly and securely. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and facilities maintenance professionals install this type of fitting when adapting hose lines at connection points where thread sizes differ between supply and delivery ends.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving garden hose assemblies, outdoor water supply lines, and low-pressure irrigation setups. It is typically installed at hose bibs, manifold outlets, or inline adapter points where a transition between 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch hose threads is required. The brass construction handles standard water service conditions without degradation from mineral exposure or moderate outdoor use.

Key Features

• Female hose to male hose thread configuration for direct adapter use
• 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch thread sizes to bridge two common hose diameters
• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Compact form factor suitable for tight connection points
• Single-piece design with no moving parts for low-maintenance service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for garden hose assemblies and irrigation systems utilizing 3/4 inch female hose and 1/4 inch male hose thread connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by plumbers or irrigation technicians working on low-pressure water lines. Shut off the water supply completely before removing existing fittings or making new connections. Apply thread sealant tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
