Anderson Metals Corp 757001-0204 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-0204 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to threaded pipe connections. It features a 1/8 inch hose inside diameter barb on one end and a 1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) on the other. Constructed from brass, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and other plumbing applications where lead-free materials are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when transitioning from rigid threaded pipe to flexible hose or tubing runs.

This barb insert is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic, and fluid-transfer applications where a secure, leak-resistant connection between flexible tubing and a 1/4 inch male pipe thread port is needed. Its compact brass construction makes it well suited for tight spaces and low-to-moderate pressure service lines. The fitting is sold in bulk and packaged in units of 5 each.

Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC before making up the threaded connection. Push the barb fully into the hose end and secure with an appropriate clamp to ensure a leak-free connection.
