52436 Replacement 1/2 MIP x Barb Nylon Adapter Product overview This 52436 adapter converts a 1/2 MIP threaded connection to a barbed hose fitting. Made from durable nylon, it provides a lightweight, corrosionresistant junction between threaded plumbing components and flexible tubing. Designed as a direct replacement for common 1/2 MIP to barb applications, it restores service quickly and reliably. Key benefits Simple replacement: Matches 1/2 MIP thread dimensions for straightforward swapin when the original adapter is worn or damaged. Secure hose connection: The barb accepts flexible tubing and can be tightened with a standard hose clamp for a reliable seal. Durable material: Nylon construction resists corrosion and cracking in typical plumbing environments while remaining lightweight. Versatile use: Works wherever a threaded 1/2 MIP port must connect to barbstyle tubing, reducing the need for custom fittings. Cost and time efficient: Restores function without system rework and minimizes downtime during repairs. Important attributes Function: Converts 1/2 MIP male thread to a barbed hose fitting for flexible tubing connections. Compatibility: Intended as a replacement for 1/2 MIP to barb adapters; compatible with systems that accept 1/2 MIP threads. May be used as a replacement part for PlumbMaster 1/2 MIP x barb fittings where compatible. Size: 1/2 MIP threaded end and a standard barb end sized for flexible tubing; confirm tubing inner diameter matches the barb for fit. Material: Molded nylon for strength, low weight, and resistance to common plumbing wear. Performance: Provides a stable mechanical connection between threaded components and flexible tubing when installed with appropriate hose clamps or sealant on the threaded joint. Typical use scenarios Residential plumbing : a damaged adapter under sinks or behind appliances to reconnect flexible supply lines to a 1/2 MIP outlet. Irrigation and landscape systems: Connect small pumps or fittings with 1/2 MIP threads to flexible tubing runs for water distribution. Equipment and utility hookups: Adapt threaded ports on pumps, water heaters, or auxiliary devices to hose connections for temporary or permanent plumbing runs. Installation notes Confirm the tubing inner diameter matches the barb profile for a tight fit. Secure the hose over the barb using a compatible hose clamp. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the 1/2 MIP threads if required by the application before tightening. Tighten handtight and then use the appropriate tool to finish; avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
