Anderson Metals 2102 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 2102 is a reusable male hose fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer hose assemblies. It features a 1/2-inch male thread size and accepts a 3/8-inch hose inside diameter, allowing a technician or plumber to field-assemble or re-terminate flexible hose runs without crimping equipment. The reusable design means the fitting can be removed and reinstalled on replacement hose, reducing material waste on service calls. This fitting is sold in a pack of 5 units, making it practical for stocking a service truck or shop bench.

This fitting is suited for use in plumbing, light industrial, and mechanical systems where threaded male connections are required at hose terminations. Typical applications include fluid supply and return lines, equipment hookups, and maintenance repairs where flexible hose connects to a fixed male-threaded port. Installers working in commercial or residential mechanical rooms will find the pack quantity convenient for keeping spares on hand during scheduled service visits.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling any hose end or fitting. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for thread engagement and sealant use on threaded connections. Inspect the hose end for cuts, abrasion, or deformation before installing the reusable fitting to ensure a leak-free assembly.
