Rain Bird B40003 Brass Hose Swivel Ell 1 in Fipt X Mht

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD B40003 is a brass hose swivel ell designed to transition between a 1-inch Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) inlet and a 1-inch Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet. The swivel design allows the hose connection to rotate freely, reducing kinking and making it easier to attach garden or supply hoses without twisting the upstream piping. Built from brass, this fitting offers corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor irrigation applications. It is a compact, field-ready adapter commonly installed by irrigation contractors, landscape professionals, and experienced DIYers working on residential or light commercial irrigation systems.

This swivel ell is suited for outdoor hose bibb connections, irrigation manifolds, and lateral line assemblies where a right-angle transition from pipe thread to hose thread is needed. The SH-2 designation aligns with RAIN BIRD's hose-end fitting series, making it a natural fit for connecting hose-fed irrigation zones or portable sprinkler setups to a fixed piped supply. It is appropriate for residential lawn and garden irrigation as well as light commercial landscape applications.

Key Features

• Swivel MHT outlet rotates freely to prevent hose kinking during connection
• 1-inch FIPT inlet threads directly onto standard iron pipe thread fittings
• 1-inch MHT outlet accepts standard garden hose and irrigation hose connections
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and buried-adjacent use
• 90-degree ell configuration saves space in tight manifold or riser installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for residential and light commercial irrigation systems requiring a 1-inch FIPT to 1-inch MHT right-angle hose swivel connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation contractors or qualified landscape professionals. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape to pipe thread connections per local plumbing code requirements. Hand-tighten the swivel nut and avoid over-torquing the brass body to prevent damage to the threads.
