Anderson Metals Corp 757001-1006 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-1006 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to a threaded pipe port. The barb end accepts 5/8 inch hose inner diameter, while the threaded end is a 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT). Constructed from brass, this insert delivers reliable sealing in a wide range of fluid-transfer applications. It meets lead-free requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water systems and other regulated installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation pros use this type of fitting when transitioning between barbed hose assemblies and standard threaded pipe connections.

This barb insert is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation systems, and general fluid-handling assemblies where flexible hose must terminate at a threaded port. The 5/8 inch barb accepts standard flexible hose of that inner diameter, and the 3/8 inch MPT end threads directly into any standard female pipe thread port. Its lead-free brass construction meets compliance requirements for drinking water applications under Public Law 111-380.

Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads per applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements before threading into the female port. Secure hose onto the barb end with an appropriate clamp rated for the system pressure and hose type.
