It is the piece that lets threaded pool equipment meet flexible hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it connects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MPT end screws into a 1-1\/2 inch female port, typically on a pump, filter or valve. The other end is a 1-1\/2 inch barb, so flexible hose pushes over it and a hose clamp holds it. That combination is the standard connection on most above ground plumbing and on plenty of temporary or seasonal setups in ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is molded ABS, the same plastic Hayward uses across its union fittings. ABS threads are strong but not forgiving, so use a sealant rated for plastic, tighten by hand and add only a small turn with a wrench. Overtightening is the usual way these fittings crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward lists SP1493 both as a hose barb and within its quick disconnect econo union family, so if you are replacing half of an existing union, check what your current assembly uses before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634386186452,"sku":"HAY-25-1698","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_d8d99186-04fb-4c3d-b39f-42a187b2d4e7.jpg?v=1788828961","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-1-2-mpt-x-1-1-2-insert-barb-econo-abs","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
