Reliance Worldwide 48628 Brass Hose Bibb 1/2 Inch Mip

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE 48628 is a heavy-duty brass hose bibb designed for residential and light commercial water supply applications. This valve provides a reliable outdoor or utility shutoff point, connecting to standard threaded pipe runs via a 1/2-inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability under normal water pressure cycling. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting on exterior walls, laundry rooms, utility connections, and irrigation supply lines where a dependable hose connection is required.

This hose bibb is suited for potable water supply systems in residential new construction, renovation, and repair work. The 1/2-inch MIP thread connection makes it compatible with standard half-inch threaded pipe assemblies. It is commonly installed at exterior hose spigot locations, mechanical room utility connections, and anywhere a threaded hose outlet is needed on a domestic cold-water line.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• 1/2-inch MIP inlet thread for connection to standard threaded pipe
• Heavy-duty design rated for typical residential water supply service
• Hose bibb outlet accepts standard garden hose fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2-inch threaded water supply piping in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing this fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the MIP threads before assembly. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
