How to Design a Winter Garden: Color, Texture, and Cold-Hardy Plants

The Male Hose x 3/4" Female Pipe Adapter is the standard solution for adapting 3/4" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) equipment—such as PVC risers, 3/4" filters, or pressure regulators—to a garden hose connection. With a 3/4" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) inlet and a standard 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet, this fitting essentially turns your pipe component into a hose-ready accessory.
Available in two material options to suit your budget and durability needs: an economical PVC swivel version for standard use, or a heavy-duty Brass version for maximum longevity and resistance to cross-threading. Both models serve as reliable irrigation fittings for assembling custom watering manifolds or connecting professional gear to residential hoses.
Select the right material for your application.

Installation differs slightly by material.
Step 1: Tape the Pipe Threads
Apply thread seal tape to the 3/4" Male Pipe threads of the component you are adapting (e.g., your PVC nipple or filter).
Step 2: Screw on the Adapter
Twist the 3/4" FPT side of the adapter onto the taped pipe threads. Hand-tighten firmly. (Use a wrench gently if installing the Brass version).
Step 3: Connect Hose Accessory
The outlet is now a standard Male Hose Thread. You can attach a garden hose, a timer, or a cap. Ensure the female device you attach has a hose washer installed to prevent leaks.
Verify your connections:
