Anderson Metals 757002-0808 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0808 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting configured as a female connector. It transitions between a 1/2-inch female NPT threaded port and a 1/2-inch inside-diameter hose barb. The lead-free brass construction meets current plumbing code requirements for potable water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting to connect flexible hose to a threaded female port in water supply, irrigation, or fluid transfer applications. The hose barb end grips the inner wall of the hose to resist pull-out, while the NPT thread provides a reliable sealed connection to standard pipe fittings and valves.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and fluid handling assemblies where a threaded-to-hose transition is required. It is commonly installed in potable water lines, garden and lawn irrigation manifolds, and general-purpose water transfer setups. The 1/2-inch hose barb accommodates standard 1/2-inch ID flexible hose, and the female NPT end threads onto male-threaded pipe, valves, or equipment ports.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the NPT threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to achieve a leak-free seal. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure.
