Shurflo 244-2946 Swivel Hose Fitting, 3/4 Inch Barb x 1/2 Inch NPT-F, Hex/Wing Nut Combo

The Shurflo 244-2946 is a swivel hose fitting built for fresh water plumbing systems aboard boats and RVs. It connects a 3/4 inch barbed hose end to a 1/2 inch female NPT threaded port, letting you join standard barb hose to NPT-threaded pumps, tanks, filters, and fittings without twisting the hose during installation. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate freely once tightened, so the hose can be routed and aligned without placing torque on the barb connection or the hose itself.

This fitting uses a combination hex and wing nut design, which means it can be tightened and loosened either with a wrench on the hex flats or by hand using the wing nut grips, giving installers flexibility when working in tight spaces or during routine maintenance and winterization. It is a lightweight, compact component intended for use in a fresh water system where a secure, leak-resistant, rotating transition between barb hose and NPT threaded ports is needed.
