Value Collection 12348 3/4x1/2 Inch Brass Hose Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12348 is a brass female hose to female pipe fitting designed to connect a 3/4-inch female garden hose thread to a 1/2-inch female pipe thread. This small-body adapter is a standard plumbing and irrigation component used to transition between hose-threaded and pipe-threaded connections. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and experienced DIYers install this type of fitting when adapting outdoor spigots, hose bibs, or irrigation manifolds to standard female pipe thread ports.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation, garden hose hookups, and outdoor water supply applications where a quick transition between garden hose and pipe thread standards is needed. The female-by-female configuration allows it to serve as a coupler between two male-threaded components, one on the hose side and one on the pipe side. It is a single-piece, no-tool-assembly adapter appropriate for low-pressure domestic water service.

Key Features

• Brass body resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service conditions
• Female hose thread by female pipe thread configuration bridges two common thread standards
• 3/4-inch hose thread side fits standard garden hose connections
• 1/2-inch female pipe thread side mates with standard NPT male pipe fittings
• Compact single-piece design with no moving parts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use adapter for standard 3/4-inch garden hose thread to 1/2-inch female pipe thread connections in residential irrigation and outdoor plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male pipe threads before making up the connection hand-tight, then snug with an appropriate wrench. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than steel and threads can be damaged. Installation should conform to applicable local plumbing codes.
