Anderson Metals Corp 757001-1212 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757001-1212 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to threaded pipe in fluid-handling systems. It features a 3/4 inch hose I.D. barb end that grips the inside of a compatible hose and a 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) end that engages standard threaded fittings or ports. Constructed from brass, this insert provides reliable sealing in both low-pressure plumbing and general fluid transfer applications. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this component.

This barb insert is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and general fluid transfer lines where a flexible hose must terminate at a threaded pipe connection. It is well suited for water supply lines, drain connections, and equipment hookups that use standard NPT threaded ports paired with barb-secured hose assemblies. The 3/4 inch size is common in main supply runs and equipment inlet or outlet connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any fitting. Use a hose clamp rated for the application to secure the barb end inside the flexible hose. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads before engaging the threaded connection — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
