Anderson Metals Corp 757422-1204 Brass Hose Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757422-1204 is a lead-free brass adapter that connects a 3/4-inch female garden hose (FGH) thread to a 1/4-inch OD compression fitting. This fitting is designed for plumbing and irrigation applications where a standard garden hose connection must transition to a smaller-diameter compression line. Manufactured from brass, it meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in systems with potable water contact. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and experienced DIYers install this type of adapter in residential and light commercial settings.

This adapter suits applications where a garden hose supply point feeds a smaller compression-tubing run, such as connecting to filtration equipment, reverse osmosis supply lines, ice maker supply tubing, or similar low-pressure service lines. The 3/4-inch FGH thread mates with standard garden hose bibs and hose-end fittings, while the 1/4-inch OD compression end accepts common small-diameter copper or plastic tubing. Sold in a package of five units, making it practical for multi-point installations or service truck stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before installation. Hand-tighten the garden hose thread connection first, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-tightening brass fittings, which can crack or distort the threads. Ensure the compression nut and ferrule are properly seated on the tubing before tightening the compression end to form a leak-free seal.
