Anderson Metals Corp 757001-0506 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-0506 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to male pipe thread fittings. It features a 5/16 inch hose inside diameter barb end and a 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet. The fitting is manufactured from brass and is certified as lead free compliant, meeting the requirements of Public Law 111-380. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of insert when transitioning from rigid threaded pipe to flexible tubing in water supply and fluid-handling applications. Its barb profile creates a secure, leak-resistant grip on compatible hose.

This barb insert is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a flexible hose must terminate at a threaded port. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, irrigation systems, and HVAC condensate or fluid-transfer connections. The fitting ships in bulk packs of 5 units, making it practical for service trucks and stocking plumbing parts inventory. It is appropriate for use in potable water systems where lead free compliance is required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before fitting installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads per IPC guidelines before threading into the receiving port. Insert the barb end fully into the hose and secure with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure.
