Anderson Metals Corp 757001-0804 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-0804 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect 1/2-inch inner diameter hose to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. Machined from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. The barbed end grips the hose interior securely, while the threaded end engages standard NPT female ports. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians use this type of fitting when transitioning between flexible hose lines and threaded pipe connections in water distribution or fluid transfer applications.

This barb insert is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid handling systems where a reliable hose-to-pipe transition is needed. The 1/2-inch barb accommodates standard 1/2-inch ID flexible hose, and the 1/4-inch MPT end threads into female NPT fittings. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for installations governed by lead-free plumbing codes, including potable water lines. This fitting ships in bulk pack quantities of 5 units per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. 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 before engagement to ensure a leak-free connection. Hose clamps are recommended over the barb end to secure the hose and prevent blowoff under pressure.
