Anderson Metals Corp 757480-1208 Brass Adapter Lead Free

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757480-1208 is a lead-free brass adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch male garden hose thread to a 1/2 inch female iron pipe thread. This fitting bridges two common thread standards in a single compact body, making it a practical solution for residential and light commercial plumbing work. Manufactured from brass, it meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. Plumbers and irrigation installers reach for this adapter when transitioning between garden hose connections and standard IPS threaded pipe or fittings.

This adapter is suited for applications where a garden hose supply or outlet needs to tie into a 1/2 inch iron pipe thread fitting. Typical install scenarios include connecting hose bibb accessories, outdoor plumbing lines, irrigation manifolds, and utility connections where both thread types appear in the same assembly. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units, making it a convenient stocking item for service vans and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before threading any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads per standard plumbing practice and applicable IPC requirements. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as brass threads can strip or crack under excessive torque.
