Connect Hose to Pipe. Seamless Adaptation.
The Male Hose x 1/2" Male Pipe Adapter is a versatile problem-solver designed to bridge the gap between two different thread standards. It features a 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) on one side and a 1/2" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) on the other, allowing you to easily connect garden hose accessories to standard PVC fittings or threaded risers.
Whether you are assembling a custom manifold or adapting a pump outlet, this fitting provides a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. It is one of our most essential irrigation fittings for installers who need to transition from rigid pipe components to flexible garden hose systems without using multiple bulky adapters.
Why Choose This Adapter?
- Dual Thread Compatibility: Solves the common "Hose vs. Pipe" dilemma by converting a 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) outlet into a standard 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) connection.
- Durable Construction: Molded from high-impact plastic, this adapter resists cross-threading and withstands the outdoor elements better than brittle alternatives.
- Leak-Free Performance: Precision-molded threads ensure a tight seal when paired with thread tape (on the pipe side) and a hose washer (on the hose side).
- Versatile Application: Perfect for connecting battery timers to PVC tees, or attaching a garden hose to a 1/2" threaded riser.
