Anderson Metals 757014-05 Hose Insert 5/16 Inch Id Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757014-05 is a barbed hose insert fitting constructed from lead free brass. It connects two sections of flexible hose using a hose barb x hose barb end configuration, designed for secure, leak-resistant joints in fluid-handling lines. The fitting is sized for 5/16 inch inside diameter hose and is well suited for low-pressure liquid or gas transfer applications where lead free material compliance is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in tubing runs that require a quick, reliable barbed connection without threading or soldering.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, refrigeration equipment drain connections, and general fluid transfer tubing assemblies. The hose barb x hose barb design allows it to serve as an inline coupler joining two runs of 5/16 inch ID flexible hose. Its compact size makes it practical in tight equipment cabinets or behind panels where space is limited.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on fluid or condensate lines. Before installation, shut off flow to the line and depressurize the system. Insert each barbed end fully into the hose and secure with an appropriately sized hose clamp for the application to prevent blowout under pressure or vibration. Where used in potable water service, verify compliance with applicable local plumbing codes referencing lead free material standards.
