Shurflo Wingnut Swivel Elbow Fitting, 1/2 Inch NPT x 3/4 Inch Barb, Part 244-3946

The Shurflo 244-3946 Wingnut Swivel Elbow is a threaded fitting designed for freshwater plumbing systems, connecting a 1/2 inch NPT threaded port to a 3/4 inch barb hose connection. The swivel wingnut design allows the elbow to rotate for easier alignment during installation and lets you hand-tighten the connection without tools, which is useful in tight spaces around pumps, tanks, and water manifolds. This elbow fitting is commonly used to route hose at a 90-degree angle from a pump or fixture outlet, reducing strain on hose runs and helping prevent kinks. As a Shurflo-branded fitting, it is intended for use with Shurflo pumps and compatible freshwater system plumbing that uses standard 1/2 inch NPT threads and 3/4 inch barb hose.
