Description
This specific fitting is a swivel-style plumbing adapter commonly used on the inlet or suction side of diaphragm pumps (like Shurflo or Everflo). It allows for a tool-free connection between a threaded pump port and a flexible hose.
Component Breakdown
-
1/2″ FPT Wingnut: This is a female pipe thread (FPT) collar equipped with “wings.” The wings allow you to tighten or loosen the fitting by hand, which is ideal for quick maintenance or winterizing your sprayer without needing a wrench.
-
3/8″ Hose Barb: The “ribbed” end designed to slide inside a flexible hose with a 3/8″ internal diameter (ID).
-
90° Elbow: The right-angle bend helps prevent hose kinking in tight spaces, such as inside a sprayer housing or an ATV tank shroud.
