Anderson Metals Corp 53746-1012 Nylon Barb Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 53746-1012 is a nylon barb adapter fitting designed to connect a 5/8 inch inner diameter barbed hose to a 3/4 inch female garden hose thread (FGH) end point. This fitting bridges standard flexible tubing to garden hose threaded connections in irrigation, water transfer, and light-duty fluid handling applications. The nylon construction keeps weight low and resists corrosion in wet environments. Each package contains 5 fittings, making it a practical choice for technicians completing multiple connections in a single job. Plumbers, irrigation installers, and general trade professionals are the typical installers for this type of adapter.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a barbed hose end must mate with a female garden hose threaded port. Common install scenarios include connecting flexible tubing to spigots, pump outlets, or equipment with standard garden hose thread fittings. The 5/8 inch ID barb accepts compatible flexible hose or tubing, while the 3/4 inch FGH end threads onto standard garden hose connections. Each package includes 5 fittings, allowing for efficient completion of multi-point installations or stocking of service inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use adapter for systems requiring a 5/8 inch ID barb to 3/4 inch female garden hose thread transition fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians using standard hand tools. Ensure all water supply is shut off and pressure is relieved before connecting or disconnecting fittings. Push flexible hose fully onto the barb and secure with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure. Follow applicable IPC guidelines for fluid handling connections in potable or non-potable water systems as the application requires.
