Anderson Metals 757014-10 Hose Insert 5/8 in Lead Free Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757014-10 is a lead free brass hose insert fitting designed for connecting flexible hose runs in plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer applications. The barbed hose barb x hose barb end configuration grips the interior wall of a 5/8 inch ID hose, creating a secure mechanical connection without the need for threaded fittings. At 0.07 pounds, this lightweight brass insert is well suited for tight spaces and inline hose splicing. Lead free brass construction meets drinking water material standards, making it appropriate for potable water systems where compliance is required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate drain lines, irrigation systems, and general fluid transfer assemblies where two lengths of 5/8 inch ID flexible hose must be joined inline. The hose barb x hose barb configuration allows a straight splice connection. It is a single-unit item, packaged individually, and is typically installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or HVAC service professionals handling low-pressure hose assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing hose run. Insert both barbed ends fully into the hose segments and secure each side with an appropriate hose clamp rated for the line pressure and fluid type. For potable water applications, verify that all downstream components also meet applicable lead free standards per local plumbing code.
