Groco PTHC-1000 90 Degree Bronze Pipe-to-Hose Adapter, 1 Inch NPT x 1 Inch Hose
The Groco PTHC-1000 is a 90 degree bronze pipe-to-hose adapter designed to connect a 1 inch NPT pipe fitting to 1 inch ID hose at a right angle, making it a common choice for routing plumbing and cooling lines in tight spaces where a straight fitting will not fit. It is machined from C83600 bronze for corrosion resistance in marine and wet environments, and it is UL Listed 647B for standard flow applications. The 90 degree elbow design lets installers change hose direction without adding a separate fitting or extra hose length, simplifying runs through bulkheads, engine compartments, and thru-hull plumbing.
The adapter terminates in a barbed hose end measuring 1.38 inches in length, giving the hose clamp adequate surface area to seat securely, while the opposite end threads onto standard 1 inch NPT pipe. Important: this fitting is not intended for use in potable water systems, as C83600 bronze fittings are not NSF-61 compliant for drinking water applications. It is best suited for non-potable marine plumbing such as raw water intake, drainage, or cooling circuits.
