3/4 in. FHT x 1/2 in. FIP Brass Adapter Fitting

Works as designed, installed in water filter housing to filter spa water .

Just over a year old and the hose fitting disintegrated on me. I did not overtighten the fitting since I was tightening my hand. Just a piece of junk not worth the money.

I like to read the "bad" reviews before deciding to buy. It is clear that those few complaining customers were mislead by the wording in the description next to the part that tells how this part can be used. Home Depot could improve the customer satisfaction statistics by fixing this wording: "Connects two garden hoses or fittings" In fact this part does not, by itself, allow two garden hoses to be connected together. The casual DIY customer may not know the difference between FHT (Female Hose Thread) and FIP (Female Iron Pipe thread) notations, but would instead rely on the statement that this fitting can be used to "connect two garden hoses". If so, they will be a bit upset when they get the part home and discover it will do no such thing. I'm sure there are far more people that run into this than actually take the time to write about it because of course most will discover that it was their own mistake and they really can't blame the part - The full description of the part is after all accurate: 3/4 in. FHT X 3/4 in. FIP Brass Garden Hose Adapter Fitting. I used this fitting for the purpose of back-flushing some clogged piping that ends with a 3/4" male iron pipe thread (MIP) by connecting a garden hose to it. Anyway, HD: you should consider fixing the wording for this on the web site.

I wanted to make a permanent conversion to FGH so I attempt to solder the hex end to the pipe and right when I got it hot enough, the swivel end melted!!! I am guessing it's made out of a aluminum alloy but definitely not brass. Avoid if you had a similar idea to sweat the adapter.

I used this coupler to create a method to open and shut my hose from the END of the hose instead of the outside. This allowed me to control the water flow where I was working. See picture. The coupler connects the hose to a ball valve. At the end, I connected a bladder to blast my ac drip line clean and any sink drains as well. Worked like a charm!

Returned, not needed.

This part doesn’t work so l Returned

Because the stock of other parts were so empty I was forced to use three parts instead of the one that would do the job.
