Questions and Answers for Everbilt 3/4 in. FHT x 3/4 in. MIP or 1/2 in. FIP Brass Multi Adapter Fitting

A:  To extend a water heater nipple connection, an FIP x MIP fitting would be required. The fitting in question is FHT, which is female hose thread and for use on garden hoses primarily.

A:  I don’t think this is what you want. It is 3/4 male pipe thread and female hose threads so it will hook up to the wrong end of the hose if you are taking water from the facet. It might not matter to you.

A:  You are correct. The Everbilt 3/4 in FHT x 3/4 in. FIP Brass Multi Adaptor Fitting will thread into a female ¾” pipe thread and convert it to a male ¾” garden hose thread. That will allow you to install the female end of a garden hose to the adapter.

A:  No, it will not work. The female end of this is made for garden hoses, not faucet aerator threads, which are much finer with more threads per inch. This is made for connecting two garden hoses.

A:  The Everbilt 3/4 in. FHT x 3/4 in. MIP or 1/2 in. FIP Brass Multi Adapter Fitting is a stock item. If the product is not available in store, it can be ordered online or you can place a special order through the ProDesk.

A:  Thanks all for your reply. Since we live in a house with 70 year old plumbing / pipes, I found that we need a 1/2 in. IPS (Iron Pipe) fitting which is larger than the new 1/2 in connector. I found a local plumbing store to pick up the necessary hose. This is the hose we need: 1/2 in. IPS x 3/8 in. Compression x 20 in. Braided Faucet Supply Connector Thanks again! Learning something new every day!

A:  You would have to know if it is 3/4 female pipe thread or is it female hose adapter thread. My suggestion is to get with the plumbers at Home Depot and devise a plan to adapt it to a modern toilet connector

A:  This fitting is made with garden hose thread which is uncommon inside homes and thus will most likely not work for your situation. We do not carry a single fitting that would convert a 3/4” pipe down to a standard 3/8” compression. Please consult with a plumbing professional for your specific application.

A:  I used it to connect the male threaded end of a garden hose to a female threaded 3/4 inch PVC pipe adapter. I don't know what Sharkbite is.

A:  Yes it will. However you will have to use a 3/4" coupling to mate up the two 3/4" male pipe threads. That is exactly what I am doing with my adapter.

A:  It will work if you are converting shark bite male thread adapter to push on pipe/led to a hose bib

A:  If the spigot off the house is Male use SKU 829513, if the spigot is Female use SKU 845883. Both convert Garden hose thread to 3/4 FIP to accept 3/4 MIP.
