Anderson Metals 11701-1 Female Swivel Hose Fitting 1/2 Unf Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 11701-1 is a barbed push-on hose female swivel fitting machined from brass. It is designed to connect flexible hose to threaded ports using a 1/2-inch UNF female swivel thread on one end and a barbed push-on shank on the other. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting during assembly. This fitting is used in fluid transfer, hydraulic, and general-purpose hose assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Installation is typically handled by plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical technicians working with barbed hose connections.

This fitting is suited for light to medium-duty hose assemblies where a push-on barbed connection meets a UNF-threaded port. Common applications include coolant lines, low-pressure fluid circuits, and equipment hose connections requiring a swivel to reduce hose stress. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and is compatible with water, oils, and many common hydraulic fluids. This SKU ships in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service vans and shop stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation barbed push-on hose fitting for equipment and systems using 1/2-inch UNF female swivel connections with barbed hose ends.

Installation Notes

Relieve all system pressure and drain fluid before removing or installing hose fittings. The swivel end should be threaded to the port by hand first, then tightened with a wrench to avoid cross-threading brass threads. Push-on barbed hose connections may require a hose clamp depending on system pressure and application requirements. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the specific system being serviced.
