Anderson Metals 757478-121208 Garden Hose Mip Brass Fitting

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 757478-121208 is a lead-free brass garden hose-to-pipe fitting designed for connecting male hose threads to male iron pipe threads. It includes an integrated female iron pipe (FIP) tap, making it a multi-function connector suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The fitting is constructed from lead-free brass, meeting requirements for potable water systems. Weighing 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece unit intended for installation by licensed plumbers or experienced plumbing technicians where a hose-to-pipe transition is needed.

This fitting is used in applications where a standard male garden hose connection must transition to a male iron pipe thread, with the added utility of a FIP tap port. Typical installations include outdoor spigot assemblies, irrigation supply connections, and utility plumbing setups. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water lines where lead-free compliance is required by local plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to threaded connections as required by local code. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
