Anderson Metals 757478-1208 Hose to Mip Adapter Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757478-1208 is a lead-free brass male garden hose to male iron pipe (MIP) adapter designed for connecting 0.5-inch garden hose fittings to standard male pipe threads. This compact threaded adapter serves as a direct connection point between hose-end assemblies and pipe-threaded ports, eliminating the need for additional adapters or reducers. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant metal fitting is required. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting as part of hose bib assemblies, outdoor water supply lines, and equipment hookups where hose and pipe thread standards must interface.

This adapter is commonly used in outdoor plumbing, irrigation system connections, and utility water supply setups. It bridges a standard 0.5-inch male garden hose thread to a male iron pipe thread, making it useful during equipment installation, temporary water supply runs, and maintenance work where mixed-thread connections are encountered. The brass construction handles typical residential water supply pressures and resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before threading this adapter into any fitting or port. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male pipe threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC provisions for threaded connections and lead-free material requirements in potable water systems.
