Anderson Metals 757020-0604 Barbed Hose Elbow 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757020-0604 is a lead-free brass barbed hose elbow fitting designed to connect a 3/8-inch inside diameter hose to a 1/4-inch male NPT threaded port. The elbow configuration redirects flow at a 90-degree angle, making it useful in tight or confined plumbing runs where a straight fitting will not clear adjacent components. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets compliance requirements for potable water and other fluid-handling applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and experienced tradespeople working on water supply, hydronic, or equipment cooling lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a hose barb-to-male NPT elbow connection is required. Typical installations include equipment drain lines, water supply connections, and hydronic accessory piping where flexible hose meets a threaded port. The 3/8-inch hose barb seats securely inside compatible hose ID for a reliable, leak-resistant joint when properly clamped. The 1/4-inch NPT male thread mates with standard female NPT ports found on valves, pumps, and equipment housings.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before tightening; hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench to avoid cracking the fitting body. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure.
