The Female Hose x 3/4" Male Pipe Adapter is the perfect problem-solver for connecting standard garden hoses to hard-piped irrigation components. This adapter features a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) Swivel on one end and a 3/4" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) on the other, bridging the gap between your water source and your system.
Ideal for attaching a PVC manifold directly to a spigot or extending a pipe run from a garden hose, this fitting creates a versatile connection point. The integrated swivel allows you to tighten the fitting onto the hose without twisting the entire pipe assembly, ensuring a stress-free installation.
Understanding compatibility is key. This fitting adapts Hose Threads to Pipe Threads.

Follow these steps to ensure a leak-free connection on both ends.
Step 1: Install MPT Side First
Apply 3-5 wraps of thread seal tape to the Male Pipe Threads (MPT). Screw this end into your PVC fitting, valve, or filter. Hand-tighten, then give it one turn with a wrench.
Step 2: Check the Washer
Ensure a hose washer is seated flat inside the Female Hose Thread (FHT) swivel. Do not use thread tape on the hose threads; the washer provides the seal.
Step 3: Connect to Water Source
Screw the FHT swivel onto your garden hose spigot or hose end. Hand-tighten firmly. Do not use pliers on the plastic swivel.
Step 4: Test
Turn on the water and check for leaks. If it drips at the hose connection, hand-tighten the swivel slightly more.
