Questions & Answers
Will the Female threads mesh perfectly with the male threads on your Home Depot EVERBILT SKU# 891450 (hose barb listed as 1/2 MIP male thread)? I seek to connect threads male to female and thus build a 1/2 inch hose barb to 1/2 inch Pex B adapter.
This fitting has female pipe threads (FPT) and is designed to connect to a male pipe thread (MPT). The EVERBILT SKU# 891450 you mentioned has a 1/2 inch MIP (Male Iron Pipe) thread. Since both are 1/2 inch and this fitting is FPT while the hose barb is MPT, they should connect. This would create your desired 1/2 inch hose barb to 1/2 inch PEX-B adapter. It's always a good idea to test the fit to ensure compatibility before final installation.
Is this used for connection to a faucet ?
Yes, one of the main uses of this fitting would be to make a connection to a faucet.
When connecting the threaded side to galvanized steel, should sealant and/or teflon tape be used on the male threads?
When making a threaded connection with any Apollo products we recommend that you wrap the threads with Teflon or Plumber's Tape.
Would this fitting be applicable for a condensate drain line? Concerned that the seal would not hold up to the acidic water.
No, this fitting should not be used in a condensate drain line application. Apollo PEX fittings, whether they are made of brass or poly alloy materials, are approved for potable water applications only. You should consider using a fitting made of ABS or PVC materials.
What size garden hose would this fit?
This fitting does not have the appropriate threading for garden hose connections, which require GHT (Garden Hose Thread). This fitting's threads are FPT (Female Pipe Thread) and must be connected to a fitting with MPT (Male Pipe Thread) threading for proper connection.
