Anderson Metals 757001-0808 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757001-0808 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a male connector. It joins a 1/2-inch ID flexible hose to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port. The barbed end grips the hose interior to resist pullout, while the NPT threads create a secure, leak-resistant seal at the mating port. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets requirements for potable water and fluid-handling applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of connector in residential and light commercial systems where flexible hose meets a threaded steel, brass, or plastic fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential plumbing, hydronic heating lines, irrigation supply connections, and general fluid transfer applications. The 1/2-inch NPT male thread mates with standard female NPT ports found on valves, pumps, manifolds, and equipment inlets. The 1/2-inch hose barb accepts flexible hose with a 1/2-inch inside diameter. It is a single-piece, field-installable connector requiring no special tooling beyond a wrench and thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water and plumbing code requirements
• 1/2-inch male NPT thread for direct connection to standard female NPT ports
• 1/2-inch hose barb (0.5000-inch barb diameter) grips flexible hose without additional clamps in low-pressure applications
• Single-piece brass body for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2-inch ID flexible hose terminated to 1/2-inch female NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the NPT threads before assembly and tighten with a wrench to avoid over-torquing the brass body. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriate hose clamp when the installation is subject to pressure or vibration.
