Anderson Metals 757002-0404 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0404 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector. It joins a 1/4 inch ID hose barb on one end to a 1/4 inch female NPT threaded port on the other. The lead-free brass construction meets modern potable-water material requirements, making it suitable for plumbing and fluid-handling lines where lead content restrictions apply. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals install this fitting type when transitioning from threaded pipe or equipment ports to flexible hose runs. The compact size and standard NPT thread make it a common stock item for service vans and shop inventory.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and fluid lines, and general-purpose water or compatible fluid distribution systems. The hose barb end accepts 1/4 inch inside diameter flexible hose, while the female NPT end threads onto a standard male NPT pipe or equipment fitting. It is appropriate wherever a secure, leak-resistant transition between rigid pipe threads and flexible hose is required in low-pressure service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the fluid supply and relieve any system pressure before connecting or disconnecting fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before threading the female NPT end onto the mating fitting. Secure the hose onto the barb end with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent pullout under pressure.
