Anderson Metals Corp 757001-1012 Brass Hose Barb Fitting

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-1012 is a brass hose barb air fitting designed for connecting flexible hose to threaded pipe systems. It features a 5/8 inch barb end that grips hose securely and a 3/4 inch male iron pipe (MIP) threaded end for connection to standard pipe fittings or equipment ports. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in applications where lead-free compliance is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting in compressed air, water, and fluid transfer lines.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial settings where flexible hose must transition to a rigid threaded pipe connection. Common applications include compressed air supply lines, pneumatic tool hookups, and general fluid handling systems. The barb design creates a secure mechanical grip on the hose, typically reinforced with a clamp. It is sold in bulk packs of 5 units, making it practical for service contractors who frequently stock these fittings for field work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Depressurize and shut off the supply line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male iron pipe threads before making up the threaded connection. Hose should be secured over the barb with an appropriately rated hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure.
