Anderson Metals 757014-08 Barbed Hose Insert 1/2 in Id

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757014-08 is a lead-free brass barbed hose fitting designed as a hose insert for fluid transfer applications. Configured with a hose barb on each end, it creates a secure, leak-resistant connection when inserted into flexible hose and secured with a clamp. The 1/2-inch inside diameter sizing is compatible with standard 1/2-inch ID flexible hose found in plumbing, irrigation, and HVAC condensate drain lines. At 0.05 pounds, this compact fitting ships as a single unit and is a direct grab-and-go replacement for worn or damaged inserts in the field.

This hose insert is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a barbed hose-to-hose connection is required. Common installation scenarios include condensate drain lines, potable water systems where lead-free compliance is required, hydronic system drain connections, and irrigation manifold assemblies. The lead-free brass construction makes it suitable for use in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free plumbing standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off the water supply or fluid source completely before disconnecting any existing fitting. Insert each barbed end fully into the hose and secure with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-out under pressure. Where potable water systems are involved, verify local code compliance for lead-free fittings per applicable IPC or state plumbing code requirements.
