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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shurflo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244-2946\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swivel hose fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb End Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded End Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch NPT female (NPT-F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combination hex and wing nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.0375 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 752324003549\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does the Shurflo 244-2946 connect?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 244-2946 connects a 3\/4 inch barb hose end to a 1\/2 inch female NPT (NPT-F) threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fitting swivel after it is tightened?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 244-2946 is a swivel fitting, so once installed it can rotate freely, allowing the hose to be positioned without placing twisting torque on the barb connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you tighten the Shurflo 244-2946?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a combination hex and wing nut design, so it can be tightened with a wrench on the hex flats or by hand using the wing nut, whichever is easier given the installation space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the female NPT side used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1\/2 inch NPT-F end of the 244-2946 threads onto a pump, tank fitting, filter, or other component with a matching 1\/2 inch male NPT port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the barb side used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 3\/4 inch barb end of the 244-2946 accepts a standard 3\/4 inch inner diameter hose, which is secured over the barb typically with a hose clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Shurflo 244-2946 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shurflo 244-2946 swivel fitting weighs 0.0375 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is the 244-2946?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 244-2946 is listed under Water System components, used for connecting hose to threaded fittings in a fresh water plumbing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the wing nut be tightened by hand, or is a tool required?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 244-2946 combo nut design lets you tighten it by hand using the wing nut grips, or with a wrench on the integrated hex flats if extra torque is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Shurflo 244-2946 a genuine Shurflo part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 244-2946 is a genuine Shurflo manufacturer part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Shurflo 244-2946?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Shurflo 244-2946 swivel fitting is 752324003549.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shurflo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031288389851,"sku":"SHU-244-2946","price":2.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/i_a8f65a62-7ecb-4948-80db-5497247cc135.jpg?v=1785350539","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shurflo-244-2946-swivel-hose-fitting-3-4-inch-barb-x-1-2-inch-npt-f-hex-wing-nut-combo","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
