Anderson Metals 757001-0504 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0504 is a male connector barbed hose fitting manufactured from lead free brass. It provides a threaded NPT connection on one end and a hose barb on the other, allowing a technician to transition from a rigid threaded port to flexible hose in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial fluid-handling systems. The 1/4 inch male NPT thread connects to a standard female NPT port, while the barbed end accepts 5/16 inch inside diameter hose. The lead free brass construction meets modern potable-water compliance requirements. At 0.05 pounds, the fitting is compact and well-suited for tight-clearance installations.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, HVAC condensate and fluid lines, and similar low-to-moderate pressure fluid systems where a threaded-to-hose transition is needed. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or experienced maintenance professionals. Its NPT thread makes it compatible with the wide range of standard NPT-ported valves, manifolds, pumps, and equipment found in trade installations.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable-water and general fluid-handling applications
• 1/4 inch male NPT thread for connection to standard female NPT ports
• Hose barb sized for 5/16 inch inside diameter flexible hose
• Hose barb x male NPT end configuration simplifies rigid-to-flexible transitions
• Compact and lightweight at 0.05 pounds for use in space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation male connector fitting for systems using 1/4 inch NPT threaded ports and 5/16 inch inside diameter flexible hose in plumbing and HVAC fluid-line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the fluid system fully before working on any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male NPT threads per local plumbing code requirements before making up the connection. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench — do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread damage under excessive force. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriate clamp to prevent pull-off under operating pressure.
