Anderson Metals 757001-0408 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/2 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0408 is a lead free brass barbed hose fitting in a male connector configuration. It features a 1/2 inch NPT male threaded end on one side and a 1/4 inch ID hose barb on the other, allowing a technician to transition from a threaded pipe or port to a flexible hose run. Lead free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water and general plumbing service. This fitting is a standard component used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation professionals in both residential and light commercial installations.

This fitting is suited for applications where a threaded male NPT connection must terminate into a flexible hose with a 1/4 inch inside diameter. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible tubing to valves, pumps, or threaded ports in plumbing, hydronic, and fluid-handling systems. The hose barb end is designed to grip the interior of compatible flexible hose when secured with an appropriate clamp, maintaining a reliable seal under normal operating pressures.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads per standard practice, and secure the hose barb end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure. Do not overtighten the NPT connection, as brass fittings can crack if torque is excessive.
