Anderson Metals Corp 757001-0304 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-0304 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to threaded pipe assemblies in fluid-handling systems. The barb end accepts 3/16 inch hose inner diameter, while the opposite end is threaded 1/4 inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) for direct connection to a female-threaded port. Constructed from brass, this fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water and other regulated plumbing applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation installers commonly use barb inserts of this type when routing small-diameter tubing to threaded components.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation tubing connections, and similar low-pressure fluid systems where a barbed hose-to-pipe transition is required. The 3/16 inch hose ID barb size is common in small-diameter tubing runs such as ice maker lines, humidifier feeds, and instrumentation tubing. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack, this fitting supports stocking needs for service contractors and supply houses alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. The barbed end should be inserted fully into the hose with an appropriate clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes before tightening into the receiving port.
