Anderson Metals 757002-0406 Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8x1/4

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0406 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector. It transitions from a 3/8 inch female NPT threaded connection to a 1/4 inch ID hose barb end. The NPT thread provides a secure, tapered seal when assembled with PTFE tape or pipe sealant. The hose barb end grips tubing with a ribbed profile, resisting pull-out under pressure. Designed for use in plumbing, irrigation, HVAC condensate, and general fluid-handling applications, this fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals requiring a reliable small-diameter transition between threaded pipe and flexible hose.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water, air, or compatible low-pressure fluids. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain line connections, water supply transitions, and irrigation manifold hookups where a threaded port must connect to flexible tubing with a 1/4 inch inside diameter. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact in applicable jurisdictions.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water applications
• 3/8 inch female NPT threaded inlet for connection to standard pipe or fittings
• 1/4 inch ID hose barb outlet secures flexible tubing without additional clamps in low-pressure service
• NPT taper thread forms a pressure-resistant seal with standard pipe sealant or PTFE tape
• Compact form factor fits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting compatible with standard 1/4 inch inside diameter flexible hose and 3/8 inch female NPT threaded ports in plumbing and HVAC fluid-handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or system pressure before assembly and relieve any residual pressure in the line. Apply PTFE tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male NPT threads mating to this fitting before tightening. Secure flexible hose onto the barb end and use a hose clamp for any application involving elevated pressure or vibration.
