3/4" Male Hose Thread x 1/2" (.700 OD) Spin-Loc Connector

A hose spigot is all well and good to use for a drip system, but what if you don't have one around? If you're working with a 3/4" FHT fitting instead of the standard 3/4" MHT fitting you usually find on a garden hose or hose spigot, then a threaded fitting like this is exactly what you need to connect your 1/2" .700 OD poly tubing to your water source. This fitting has a 3/4" MHT base, which means it's compatible with standard hose thread fittings. The other end is a 1/2" spin-loc fitting designed to work with 1/2" .700 OD poly drip tubing.

To use this fitting, screw the nut all the way down against the base of the fitting, push the tubing onto the barb, then screw the nut back down over the tubing. Do not unscrew the nut and push the tubing through it, that's not the way the fitting is designed to work!
