Spears AP-106 Pvc Hose Swivel Adapter 3/4 in Fht X Fipt

Product Description

The SPEARS AP-106 is a PVC hose swivel adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch female hose thread (FHT) fitting to a 3/4 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) port. The swivel design allows the hose connection to rotate freely, reducing torque stress on the joint and making it easier to attach and detach hoses without twisting the line. Constructed from PVC, this adapter is suited for water service, irrigation, and light chemical handling applications where corrosion resistance and lightweight installation are priorities. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals are the typical installers.

This adapter is commonly used in residential and light commercial irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, and general water distribution setups where a garden hose or lay-flat hose must connect to a threaded pipe fitting. The 3/4 inch FHT swivel end accepts a standard hose fitting, while the 3/4 inch FIPT end threads onto a male pipe fitting at the equipment or manifold. Its compact form fits in tight valve boxes and panel spaces where rigid fittings would be difficult to work with.

Key Features

• Swivel FHT end rotates freely to reduce joint stress during hose connection
• 3/4 inch FHT x 3/4 inch FIPT configuration for direct hose-to-pipe transition
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance for water and light chemical service
• Compact size fits in confined spaces such as valve boxes and equipment panels
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing load on threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems using standard 3/4 inch FHT and 3/4 inch FIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before fitting installation. Apply thread sealant tape to the FIPT connection per standard practice; do not use thread compounds that are incompatible with PVC. Hand-tighten the swivel FHT end onto the mating hose fitting and avoid over-torquing the FIPT end, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
