Description
The ANDERSON METALS CORP 757020-0608 is a 90-degree brass barb insert elbow designed to connect a 3/8-inch hose ID to a 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) fitting. It is used to change flow direction in low-pressure fluid and gas lines where a flexible hose meets a threaded port. The barbed end grips the inside of the hose for a secure, leak-resistant connection, while the male pipe thread end seals into a female-threaded fitting or valve body. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for potable water applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems.
This elbow is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a flexible hose and a threaded connection point. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, equipment drain connections, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems. The fitting is sold in bulk pack quantities of 5 units per package, making it practical for service trucks and shop stock.
