Anderson Metals Corp 717001-0806 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 717001-0806 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect a 1/2 inch hose ID to a 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. It seats inside a flexible hose and clamps down for a secure, leak-resistant transition to a threaded male pipe connection. The fitting is manufactured from lead-free brass, meeting compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, which governs lead content in drinking water system components. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in potable water, hydronic, and general fluid transfer applications where a hose-to-threaded-pipe transition is required.

This barb insert suits residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It is appropriate for systems using flexible hose assemblies that terminate at a male-threaded pipe port, such as supply lines, equipment hookups, and irrigation manifolds. The lead-free construction qualifies it for use in potable water systems subject to state and federal lead-content regulations. Package quantity is 10 units per pack, sold as a single unit (EA).
