Anderson Metals 757020-0608 Barbed Hose Elbow 1/2 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757020-0608 is a lead free brass barbed hose elbow fitting designed to connect a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose to a 1/2 inch male NPT threaded port. The elbow configuration allows a 90-degree directional change in a fluid line, making it useful in tight or offset installation scenarios. Constructed from lead free brass, the fitting meets requirements for potable water and other regulated fluid systems. It ships as an individual piece and is sized for direct hand-tool installation by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working on low-pressure fluid piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate, water supply, and fluid transfer applications where a hose-to-threaded-pipe transition is needed at a directional change point. The hose barb end accepts 3/8 inch ID flexible hose, while the male NPT end threads into a standard 1/2 inch NPT female port on valves, manifolds, tanks, or equipment fittings. It is appropriate for use in systems that require lead free compliant components per applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the NPT threads before threading the fitting into the receiving port. Secure the hose barb end with an appropriately rated hose clamp or crimp ring to prevent hose pullout under pressure.
