Anderson Metals 2103 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 1/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 2103 is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, field-serviceable hose connections in plumbing, hydraulic, and fluid-transfer applications. The fitting features a 1/4 inch male thread and accepts hose with a 3/8 inch inside diameter. Because it is reusable, the fitting can be removed and reinstalled without cutting the hose end, reducing material waste during service or reconfiguration. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-system technicians install this type of fitting when a permanent crimp termination is not required or when the hose assembly must be periodically disassembled.

This fitting is suited for low- to medium-pressure fluid lines in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose hose assemblies where a 1/4 inch male threaded connection is specified. The 3/8 inch hose ID accommodation makes it compatible with standard small-bore flexible hose commonly found in HVAC condensate lines, pneumatic tool supply, and similar service environments. This SKU ships in a pack of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified fluid-system technicians. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly completely before removing or installing this fitting. Thread engagement should be checked against applicable IPC or system-specific standards for the fluid type and pressure rating in use.
