Midwest Fasteners 33688 1/2" x 3/8FIP Brass Female Hose Barb Fitting

Midwest Fasteners 33688 1/2" x 3/8FIP Brass Female Hose Barb Fitting

The Midwest Fasteners 33688 is a 1/2" x 3/8FIP Brass Female Hose Barb fitting built for connecting hose to female iron pipe (FIP) threaded ports. Machined from solid brass, this fitting resists corrosion in water, air, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines where a reliable barb-to-thread transition is needed. The barb end is sized to accept 1/2" ID hose, while the opposite end threads into a 3/8" female iron pipe connection, making it a straightforward adapter for shop air lines, irrigation setups, washdown stations, and general plumbing repair work. Sold Each, this fitting is a practical shelf-stock item for techs who need to keep a hose-to-pipe transition on hand without buying a full kit. Brass construction gives it the durability to stand up to repeated hose clamp tightening and seasonal outdoor use better than plastic alternatives.
