Pasco Specialty Mfg Co 2143 Hose Thread Adapter

Product Description

The PASCO SPECIALTY MFG CO 2143 is a threaded adapter fitting designed to transition between a 3/4-inch Male Hose Thread (MHT) connection and a 1/2-inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) connection. This fitting allows a standard garden hose thread interface to connect directly to a 1/2-inch NPT pipe thread, bridging two common thread standards found in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is sold as a single unit and is a straightforward mechanical fitting with no moving parts. Plumbers and service techs reach for this adapter when connecting hose bibs, irrigation lines, or supply lines that require a thread-standard transition.

This adapter is suited for residential plumbing, irrigation systems, and outdoor water supply connections where a hose thread outlet must tie into a pipe thread fitting or valve. Common install scenarios include connecting a hose bib supply to a threaded pipe nipple, adapting a threaded valve outlet, or completing a rough-in where two incompatible thread standards meet. It is sold as an individual fitting, making it practical for single-point repairs or new installations.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch MHT inlet transitions to 1/2-inch MIP outlet in a single fitting
• Bridges garden hose thread and iron pipe thread standards without additional adapters
• Single-piece construction with no moving parts
• Sold individually for targeted repairs or single-connection installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation adapter for plumbing applications requiring a 3/4-inch Male Hose Thread to 1/2-inch Male Iron Pipe thread transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before threading the adapter into place. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the MIP threads per IPC guidelines before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or distort the seat.
