Anderson Metals Corp 717002-0808 Hose Barb Insert 1/2in Fpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 717002-0808 is a hose barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to a female iron pipe thread port. The barb end accepts 1/2 inch inner diameter hose, while the opposite end threads into a 1/2 inch FPT fitting or port. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where a barbed hose connection to a threaded female port is required. Each package contains 10 pieces.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-transfer systems where flexible hose must terminate at a threaded female iron pipe connection. Typical applications include water supply lines, garden and irrigation hose connections, and general-purpose fluid handling where a secure barb-to-thread transition is needed. The lead free rating makes it appropriate for drinking water and potable water service lines where local codes require lead free wetted components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads mating to the FPT end per standard plumbing practice and applicable IPC requirements. Secure the hose to the barb end with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure.
