Value Collection 12326 Hose Adapter 3/4 X 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12326 is a brass garden hose adapter designed to connect a male hose thread to a male pipe thread in a single compact fitting. The adapter steps down from a 3/4-inch male hose thread to a 1/2-inch male pipe thread, making it a straightforward solution for transitioning between hose and pipe connections in water supply, irrigation, and utility plumbing applications. Machined from brass, it resists corrosion and handles the mechanical stress of repeated connections. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and maintenance professionals install this fitting when a hose-to-pipe junction is needed without additional adapters or couplings in the line.

This adapter suits residential and light commercial applications where a garden hose thread must interface with a standard pipe thread fitting. Typical scenarios include connecting a hose bib extension, attaching a hose to a threaded pipe stub-out, or adapting irrigation supply lines. The 3/4-inch male hose end follows standard garden hose thread (GHT) dimensions, while the 1/2-inch male pipe end conforms to NPT standards. It is sold individually and works in low-pressure water service lines where brass fittings are appropriate.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch male hose thread to 1/2-inch male pipe thread configuration in one fitting
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments
• Compact adapter eliminates the need for multiple intermediate fittings
• Compatible with standard GHT and NPT threaded connections
• Sold individually for single-point repair or installation needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation fitting for applications requiring a male GHT to male NPT transition in residential or light commercial water service and irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply completely before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench to achieve a snug fit without overtightening, which can crack brass fittings.
