Anderson Metals 757020-0606 Barbed Hose Elbow 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757020-0606 is a lead-free brass barbed hose elbow fitting designed to connect flexible hose to a threaded male NPT port at a 90-degree angle. It accepts 3/8 inch inside-diameter hose on the barbed end and threads into a 3/8 inch female NPT port on the mating component. The lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water and general fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation professionals use this fitting to route hose lines around obstructions or change direction without adding extra straight couplings. The compact elbow profile keeps installations tidy in tight spaces.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate drain lines, irrigation systems, and fluid transfer setups where a directional change is needed between a barbed hose connection and a threaded port. The 3/8 inch hose barb seats securely inside standard 3/8 inch ID flexible hose, and the male NPT thread seals into a wide range of valves, manifolds, pumps, and equipment ports. It is appropriate for low-pressure water, air, and compatible fluid service within the pressure ratings of the connected hose and system components.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water contact applications
• 3/8 inch barb sized for 3/8 inch inside-diameter flexible hose
• 3/8 inch male NPT thread for connection to standard threaded ports
• 90-degree elbow body routes hose without sharp bends or kinks
• Threaded end connection allows tool-assisted tightening for a leak-resistant seal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch ID flexible hose and 3/8 inch female NPT threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, irrigation, and light fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before installation and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench turns per standard practice — avoid over-torquing brass fittings. Secure the hose onto the barb with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any fitting.
