Anderson Metals 757002-0606 Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0606 is a barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector, designed to join a 3/8-inch ID hose to a 3/8-inch female NPT threaded port. Constructed from lead free brass, this fitting meets modern plumbing and potable-water safety requirements. The hose barb end grips the inner wall of compatible hose when secured with a clamp, while the female NPT thread provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection to male-threaded pipes, valves, or equipment ports. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation, and general fluid-transfer applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant transition fitting is needed.

This fitting is commonly installed in residential and light commercial settings where flexible hose must transition to a threaded pipe connection. Typical applications include condensate drain lines on HVAC equipment, water supply connections, and low-pressure fluid systems. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard North American threaded fittings and equipment ports. At 0.07 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or isolate the system before making any connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before engaging the female fitting to ensure a leak-free seal. Secure the hose to the barb end with an appropriately sized hose clamp and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
