Description

Adapt Hose to Pipe at a Perfect Angle.

The 3/4" FHT Swivel x 1/2" MPT Elbow is a compact transition fitting designed to connect a standard garden hose spigot to a 1/2" pipe thread component at a 90-degree angle. The 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) swivel nut allows for easy attachment to a faucet or hose end without twisting the entire assembly, while the 1/2" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) outlet screws directly into 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) fittings, such as PVC tees or risers.

Molded from durable Schedule 40 PVC, this elbow is ideal for creating custom drip manifolds, connecting timers to hard-piped systems, or routing water from a hose bibb into a rigid pipe layout. The swivel action ensures a tight seal against the hose washer without over-tightening.

Why Use a Swivel Elbow?
  • Space Saving: The 90-degree design allows you to route water lines cleanly against a wall or down from a faucet, saving space compared to straight adapters.
  • Easy Installation: The swivel nut spins independently, so you can tighten the hose connection without rotating the pipe threads on the other end.
  • Versatile Transition: Instantly converts a hose thread source to a standard pipe thread, opening up compatibility with a wide range of irrigation fittings.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality PVC for resistance to corrosion and chemical damage.
Technical Specifications

Check your thread sizes carefully.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Secure connections in two easy steps.

Step 1: Connect Pipe Side
Apply Thread Seal Tape to the 1/2" MPT threads. Screw the elbow into your 1/2" FPT fitting (like a PVC tee or female adapter) until hand-tight.

Step 2: Connect Hose Side
Ensure a hose washer is seated in the swivel nut. Screw the swivel onto your faucet or garden hose. Hand tighten only to avoid damaging the washer or threads.
