Spears AP-105 Pvc Hose Swivel Adapter 3/4 Fht X 1/2 Fipt

Product Description

The SPEARS AP-105 is a PVC hose swivel adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch female hose thread (FHT) fitting to a 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection. The swivel design allows the hose-side fitting to rotate freely, reducing torque stress on the connection during hose attachment and detachment. Constructed from PVC, this adapter resists corrosion and works well in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians install this type of adapter where a garden hose or similar threaded hose end must transition to a threaded pipe fitting in a fixed piping system.

This adapter suits residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation installations. Typical applications include connecting garden hoses, wash-down lines, or irrigation supply lines to PVC pipe assemblies threaded with 1/2 inch iron pipe thread. The swivel action is especially useful in tight spaces where spinning the entire hose assembly would be impractical. The AP-105 is appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water service in aboveground and below-grade installations where PVC is rated for use.

Key Features

• Swivel FHT end allows free rotation for easier hose connection without twisting the supply line
• 3/4 inch FHT inlet transitions to 1/2 inch FIPT outlet for hose-to-pipe compatibility
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance for water service applications
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, minimizing added load on threaded connections
• Sold in single-unit increments for small-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or installation fitting for PVC piping systems requiring a 3/4 inch FHT to 1/2 inch FIPT hose swivel transition in irrigation, plumbing, or water distribution assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant on the FIPT threads per local plumbing code; the swivel FHT end uses a hose gasket and does not require thread sealant. Do not over-tighten PVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
