Anderson Metals 757001-0806 Barbed Hose Fitting

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0806 is a male connector barbed hose fitting machined from lead free brass. It transitions a 3/8 inch male NPT thread on one end to a 1/2 inch ID hose barb on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant connection between threaded pipe or equipment ports and flexible hose lines. The NPT thread seals with pipe thread tape or compound. The barbed end grips the inside of compatible hose and is typically secured with a clamp. At 0.08 pounds, this is a small but precisely made fitting suited for water, air, and general fluid service in plumbing and HVAC applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting in low-pressure fluid and air lines.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and general fluid-handling applications where a threaded port must be connected to flexible hose. Typical scenarios include equipment drain connections, water supply transitions, and compressed air or cooling system lines where a barbed-to-NPT male adapter is required. The lead free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact, making it suitable for domestic water service applications in addition to non-potable fluid systems.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets potable water contact standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch male NPT threaded ports and 1/2 inch ID flexible hose in plumbing, HVAC, or general fluid-handling service.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the line before installation. Apply pipe thread tape or appropriate thread sealant compound to the male NPT threads before making up the connection. Secure the hose barb end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-off under system pressure. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the specific application.
