Anderson Metals 757001-0502 Barbed Hose Fitting Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0502 is a lead-free brass male connector barbed hose fitting designed to create a secure, leak-resistant transition between a threaded port and a flexible hose line. The fitting connects a 1/8 inch male NPT thread on one end to a 5/16 inch ID hose barb on the other. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets material requirements for potable water and other regulated fluid systems. This type of fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation professionals in low-pressure fluid or gas distribution lines where a threaded-to-barb transition is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications including water supply lines, HVAC condensate and coolant lines, pneumatic tubing connections, and general fluid transfer systems. The 1/8 inch NPT thread sizes it for small-bore ports commonly found on valves, manifolds, pumps, and equipment housings. The 5/16 inch ID hose barb accommodates standard flexible tubing of that interior diameter, providing a grip-and-seal connection when used with an appropriate hose clamp.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1/8 inch male NPT to 5/16 inch ID hose barb transition in brass construction.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes before threading into the receiving port. Secure the hose barb end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-off under operating pressure.
