Anderson Metals 2129 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 2129 is a reusable male hose fitting designed for secure, field-serviceable hose connections in plumbing, hydraulic, and fluid-transfer applications. With a 3/8-inch thread size and a 1/2-inch hose inner diameter, this fitting allows technicians to reuse the fitting body after disconnecting from the hose, reducing replacement costs on the job. It ships in a package quantity of two, making it practical for service calls that require a matched pair or a backup. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic service technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, fluid-handling assemblies, and hose-end repair work where a reusable connection is preferred over a crimp-style termination. The 3/8-inch male thread interfaces with standard female-threaded ports and adapters commonly found in water supply, air, and low-pressure fluid lines. Its reusable design makes it a practical choice for service environments where hose ends are periodically replaced or inspected.

Key Features

• Reusable design allows fitting body to be removed and reinstalled on replacement hose
• 3/8-inch thread size for compatibility with standard threaded ports and adapters
• 1/2-inch hose inner diameter for proper hose-end fitment
• Male thread configuration for direct connection to female-threaded fittings and ports
• Sold in a package quantity of two per order unit

Compatibility

Designed as a reusable male hose fitting for 1/2-inch inner diameter hose with 3/8-inch male thread terminations in standard plumbing and fluid-transfer assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any hose end or fitting. Use appropriate wrenches to thread and seat the fitting without over-torquing the connection. Inspect the hose end for cuts, abrasion, or deformation before reattaching a reusable fitting body.
