Anderson Metals Corp 757478-1208 Brass Hose Adapter

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757478-1208 is a brass hose-to-pipe adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch Male Garden Hose (MGH) thread to a 1/2 inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) thread. Built from brass, this fitting transitions between garden hose and standard iron pipe threads in a single compact body. It meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free fittings are mandated. Plumbers and irrigation techs reach for this adapter when bridging hose bibs, irrigation manifolds, or portable water connections to threaded pipe systems.

This adapter is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a garden hose connection must interface with a half-inch iron pipe threaded fitting. Typical install scenarios include hose bib extensions, temporary water supply hookups, outdoor irrigation tie-ins, and utility connections. The fitting is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per package, making it practical for contractors who need multiple units on a job.

• 3/4 inch Male Garden Hose thread on one end for standard hose connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread brass adapter suitable for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring a transition from 3/4 inch Male Garden Hose thread to 1/2 inch Male Iron Pipe thread.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus a quarter to half turn with a wrench — avoid overtightening brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for lead-free materials in potable water systems.
