Anderson Metals 757002-0806 Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0806 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector for joining threaded pipe to flexible hose lines. One end features a 3/8 inch female NPT threaded connection; the other end is a hose barb sized to accept 1/2 inch inside diameter hose. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water standards, making this fitting suitable for plumbing, water supply, and fluid transfer applications where material compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when transitioning from a threaded iron or brass pipe run to a flexible hose assembly.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, water treatment equipment connections, and general fluid transfer setups. It is well suited to any application requiring a secure, leak-resistant transition between a 3/8 inch NPT female threaded port and a 1/2 inch ID flexible hose. The barbed end retains the hose mechanically and is typically used with a clamp for a permanent, pressure-rated connection.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 3/8 inch female NPT thread for direct connection to standard threaded pipe or fittings
• Hose barb sized for 1/2 inch inside diameter flexible hose
• NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Compact form factor suits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard female connector fitting for use with 1/2 inch ID flexible hose and 3/8 inch NPT threaded ports in residential and commercial plumbing and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Secure the hose to the barbed end with a properly sized hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure; do not rely on the barb alone for pressurized applications.
