Anderson Metals 757001-0604 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0604 is a lead free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a male connector. It transitions a 1/4 inch NPT male threaded connection to a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose barb, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint between a threaded port and flexible hose. The lead free brass construction meets drinking water application requirements and resists corrosion in wet service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors reach for this style of fitting when connecting flexible tubing or hose assemblies to threaded pipe or equipment ports in both residential and light commercial installations.

This fitting is suited for potable water lines, condensate drain connections, fluid transfer assemblies, and general plumbing systems where a threaded-to-hose transition is required. The 3/8 inch hose barb accepts standard flexible hose of matching inside diameter, and the 1/4 inch NPT thread mates directly with NPT-tapped ports on valves, manifolds, pumps, and equipment fittings. Its compact size makes it practical in tight spaces where larger fittings would not fit.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable water and plumbing code compliance
• 1/4 inch NPT male thread for direct connection to standard NPT-tapped ports
• 3/8 inch ID hose barb secures flexible hose with a clamp for a reliable seal
• Threaded connection type allows hand-start installation and wrench tightening
• Compact form factor fits confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT barbed male connector fitting compatible with 3/8 inch inside diameter flexible hose and any equipment or pipe fitting with a 1/4 inch NPT female-tapped port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or system fluid flow and relieve any line pressure before removing or installing fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT male threads before tightening; do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pullout under operating pressure.
