Anderson Metals 757002-0504 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0504 is a female connector barbed hose fitting manufactured from lead free brass. It provides a threaded NPT connection on one end and a hose barb on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint between a rigid threaded port and flexible hose. The fitting accepts a 1/4 inch NPT female thread and connects to hose with a 5/16 inch inside diameter. Weighing 0.04 pounds, this compact fitting is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications where a reliable transition from threaded pipe to flexible hose is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems wherever a 1/4 inch NPT female port must transition to a 5/16 inch ID flexible hose. Typical applications include water supply lines, condensate drainage connections, and low-pressure fluid transfer assemblies. The lead free brass construction makes it suitable for potable water systems in jurisdictions that enforce lead free material requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with flexible hose having a 5/16 inch inside diameter and systems with a 1/4 inch NPT female threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before making up the threaded connection. Seat the hose barb fully into the hose and secure with an appropriate clamp to prevent separation under pressure.
