Anderson Metals Corp 757001-0812 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-0812 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect 1/2-inch inside-diameter hose to a 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) port. This fitting is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Barb inserts of this type are used to create a secure mechanical connection between flexible hose and threaded pipe fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable hose-to-pipe transition is required.

This fitting is appropriate for use in residential potable water supply lines, irrigation systems, and other fluid-handling applications where a 1/2-inch hose must terminate at a 3/4-inch MPT connection. The lead-free brass construction makes it a code-compliant choice for systems that contact drinking water. It is sold in bulk and packaged in units of 5, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making or breaking any fitting connections. Use an appropriate hose clamp over the barb connection to ensure a leak-free seal on the hose end. Inspect the MPT threads for damage and apply thread sealant tape or compound as required by local code before threading the fitting into the receiving port.
