Anderson Metals 707478-120808 Hose to Pipe Adapter Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 707478-120808 is a lead-free brass adapter fitting that connects a male garden hose thread to a male iron pipe thread, with an integrated SWT (solder) tap port. This three-way configuration allows a technician or plumber to make a hose connection, a threaded pipe connection, and a sweat-solder branch connection from a single fitting body. Constructed from lead-free brass, this adapter meets modern plumbing code requirements for potable water applications. It is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations where multiple connection types converge at one point.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing where a garden hose bib, irrigation line, or outdoor faucet setup requires both a threaded pipe run and a solder-branch tap. Typical install scenarios include utility connections at laundry rooms, mechanical rooms, or outdoor water service points. The combination of hose thread, male pipe thread, and a sweat tap makes this fitting especially useful when retrofitting or extending existing copper or threaded piping systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• Male garden hose thread outlet for standard hose connections
• Male iron pipe thread (MIP) end for direct threaded pipe connection
• Integrated SWT tap allows a soldered branch connection in the same fitting
• Compact single-piece body reduces the need for multiple fittings or adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a male garden hose to male iron pipe transition with a soldered branch tap port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line completely before cutting into or modifying any existing piping. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to all male pipe threads before assembly, and ensure the SWT tap connection is fully cleaned and fluxed before soldering. Do not overheat the fitting body during the soldering process, as excessive heat can compromise the threaded portions of the fitting.
