Value Collection 12331 Hose Adapter 3/4x1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12331 is a brass garden hose adapter designed to connect a male hose thread to a female pipe thread. It bridges a 3/4-inch male hose fitting to a 1/2-inch female pipe thread, making it a straightforward solution for transitioning between hose and pipe connections in water supply and irrigation applications. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability under typical water service conditions. Plumbers, irrigation installers, and maintenance technicians commonly use this type of adapter when connecting garden hoses to threaded pipe outlets or supply lines.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation setups where a hose-to-pipe thread transition is required. Typical applications include connecting a garden hose to a threaded pipe fitting on a water supply line, manifold, or spigot outlet. The 3/4-inch male hose thread follows standard garden hose thread dimensions, and the 1/2-inch female pipe thread accepts standard NPT pipe fittings commonly found in residential plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in water applications
• Male hose thread to female pipe thread configuration for hose-to-pipe transitions
• 3/4-inch male hose thread x 1/2-inch female pipe thread sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hose-to-pipe thread adapter compatible with 3/4-inch male garden hose thread outlets and 1/2-inch female NPT pipe fittings commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or qualified maintenance technician. Shut off the water supply completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male pipe threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excessive torque can crack or deform the threads.
