Anderson Metals Corp 53746-0812 Nylon Barb Adapter 5 Pack

Product Description

The Anderson Metals Corp 53746-0812 is a nylon barb adapter fitting designed to connect a 1/2 inch inner diameter hose barb to a 3/4 inch female garden hose (FGH) thread. Molded from nylon, this fitting offers lightweight corrosion resistance suitable for water transfer, irrigation, and general fluid handling applications. The barb end grips standard 1/2 inch ID flexible hose, while the threaded end mates with standard 3/4 inch garden hose female couplings. Each package includes 5 fittings. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general maintenance professionals typically install this type of adapter in low-pressure water lines.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial water supply and irrigation systems where a transition from flexible barbed hose to a garden hose threaded connection is required. Typical applications include hose bib extensions, portable water transfer setups, and irrigation manifold connections. The nylon construction makes it well suited for outdoor and moisture-exposed environments where metal fittings may corrode.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or replacing any hose fitting. Insert the barb end fully into the 1/2 inch ID hose and secure with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent pullout under pressure. Hand-tighten the female garden hose thread connection and verify there are no leaks before returning the line to service. Installation should comply with applicable local plumbing codes.
