The item in my kit
I bought Spears One-and-a-Half-Inch Barb-to-Spigot Adapter as part of my camper van equipment.
I bought the Spears spigot adapter among my plumbing parts. My early interior notes put the openings first, leaving the hose routes and fitting positions to develop around that starting layout.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The male-NPT adapter uses threads on the pipe side. The elbow changes the direction of the connection, so the alternatives compare both joining method and the route taken by the hose.
This PVC adapter joins a one-and-a-half-inch hose barb to a male NPT thread. Its straight body provides a transition between hose and a threaded fitting.
