Anderson Metals 757002-0502 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0502 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting designed to connect a 1/8 inch female NPT threaded port to a 5/16 inch inside diameter hose via a hose barb end. The fitting uses a standard NPT thread form for reliable sealing in threaded pipe systems. Lead-free brass construction makes it suitable for potable water and fluid-handling applications where material compliance is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems installers use this type of connector to transition from a threaded female port to a flexible barbed hose line in tight or compact installations.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, water supply connections, and general fluid transfer applications. The hose barb end accepts 5/16 inch ID flexible hose, securing the connection with a clamp or ferrule as needed. The female NPT end threads onto a male NPT nipple or port. Its compact size makes it practical in space-constrained equipment cabinets, behind fixtures, or within mechanical equipment where a clean threaded-to-barb transition is needed.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction for potable water compliance and corrosion resistance
• 1/8 inch female NPT thread end for direct connection to standard male NPT ports
• 5/16 inch ID hose barb end for secure hose attachment with clamp or ferrule
• NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Compact form factor suited for tight mechanical and equipment spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/8 inch female NPT ports and 5/16 inch inside diameter flexible hose lines in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off water supply or depressurize the fluid line before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before threading on the female NPT end. Secure the hose barb end with an appropriately sized clamp or ferrule to prevent hose blowoff under pressure.
