Anderson Metals Corp 757002-0804 Brass Barb Insert

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757002-0804 is a brass barb insert fitting designed to connect flexible hose to female pipe thread ports in fluid-handling systems. The barb end accepts 1/2 inch hose inner diameter, while the threaded end is sized at 1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT). Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free compliance is mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of insert to create secure, push-in barbed connections in both residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This barb insert is used in potable water supply lines, irrigation systems, and fluid transfer applications where a barbed hose connection must transition to a female pipe thread port. It is appropriate for residential plumbing repairs, fixture connections, and light commercial installations where lead-free fittings are required by code. The fitting is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of five units per pack, making it practical for service technicians who need spares on hand.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch hose I.D. barb to 1/4 inch female pipe thread transition in lead-free compliant installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. The barb end should be fully inserted into the hose and secured with an appropriate hose clamp for pressurized service. Thread the FPT end onto a male-threaded port using thread sealant tape or compound rated for the fluid type; do not overtighten brass fittings.
