Anderson Metals 757002-0808 Brass Hose Barb 1/2 in Id X 1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757002-0808 is a low-lead brass hose barb fitting designed to connect flexible hose to female pipe thread ports. The barb end accepts 1/2 inch inside diameter hose, and the opposite end is a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT). Constructed from brass with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces, this fitting meets low-lead compliance requirements applicable to potable water and plumbing installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems where a secure, leak-resistant transition between hose and threaded pipe connections is required.

This hose barb fitting is suited for potable water lines, irrigation systems, and general fluid transfer applications where a barb-to-female pipe thread connection is needed. The 1/2 inch ID barb accommodates standard 1/2 inch flexible hose, and the FPT end threads onto male-threaded pipe or fittings. It is sold in a minimum quantity of 5, individually flag tagged for easy identification at the job site or in inventory.
