Anderson Metals Corp 57068-0202 Brass Mini Hose Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 57068-0202 is a brass mini hose barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose or tubing to a male pipe thread port. The barb end accepts 1/8 inch inner diameter hose, while the threaded end is a 1/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT). Constructed from brass, this insert provides reliable, corrosion-resistant performance in low-pressure fluid and gas transfer applications. It is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation or fluid-handling specialists who need a compact, secure hose-to-pipe transition in tight spaces.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing must terminate at a threaded port. Typical uses include water treatment equipment, pneumatic tubing runs, fuel lines, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant accessory lines. Its small profile makes it well suited for installations with limited clearance around manifolds, valves, or equipment panels. The package contains 10 pieces, making it practical for service trucks or shop stock.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch ID barb end accepts standard flexible hose or tubing
• 1/8 inch male pipe thread for direct connection to NPT-threaded ports
• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Compact mini profile fits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/8 inch ID flexible hose with 1/8 inch NPT threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC accessory, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid or gas supply and relieve any line pressure before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male pipe threads per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines before threading into the receiving port. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque; hand-tighten and use a wrench only for the final snug turn.
