Anderson Metals 757002-0302 Barbed Hose Fitting Female Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0302 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector. It transitions from a 1/8 inch NPT female threaded port to a 3/16 inch ID hose barb, making it a compact inline adapter for low-pressure fluid and air lines. The lead-free brass construction meets modern potable water safety standards, and the NPT thread ensures a reliable, pressure-rated seal when properly installed with thread sealant. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors reach for this fitting when connecting small-bore tubing to threaded ports on equipment, valves, or manifolds.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where small-diameter flexible hose must terminate at a threaded female port. Typical installations include condensate drain lines, refrigeration drain tubing, appliance water supply connections, and low-pressure pneumatic or fluid circuits. The hose barb end accepts 3/16 inch ID flexible hose, and the 1/8 inch NPT thread is a standard size found on a wide range of valves, gauges, and equipment bodies.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-configuration hose barb fitting compatible with 3/16 inch ID flexible hose and any equipment or valve body with a 1/8 inch NPT threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC or mechanical technicians. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before installation; do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Shut off all fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing this fitting. Secure the hose barb connection with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure or vibration.
