Anderson Metals 757001-0202 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0202 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a male connector with a 1/8-inch NPT threaded end on one side and a 1/8-inch hose barb on the other. It provides a secure, leak-resistant transition between a threaded port and flexible hose in low-pressure fluid or air handling systems. The lead-free brass construction meets potable-water safe requirements, making it suitable for plumbing, HVAC condensate, and light industrial applications. At 0.02 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting intended for direct assembly without additional adapters.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial installations where a threaded male NPT port must connect to flexible tubing or hose with a 1/8-inch inside diameter. Common applications include condensate drain lines, water supply connections, pneumatic tubing circuits, and equipment inlet or outlet ports. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically install this type of fitting when routing flexible hose from a fixed threaded fitting on valves, manifolds, pumps, or equipment housings.

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any system with a 1/8-inch female NPT threaded port requiring a transition to 1/8-inch inside diameter flexible hose or tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and mechanical technicians. Shut off the water or air supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and applicable IPC or IFGC requirements before threading into the female port. Do not overtighten; snug the fitting hand-tight and turn with a wrench only as needed to achieve a leak-free seal without stressing the mating port.
