Anderson Metals 57001-0404 Brass Hose Fitting, Adapter, 1/4" Barb x 1/4" NPT Male Pipe

Nice quality barb here. Reccomended. Now you know.

Worked great. I used it to put a LockNFlate chuck on the end of my handheld "pistol-grip" air compressor.

Over that past year I have ordered and used many different Anderson fittings. This is one of them. Without exception, I have found Anderson fittings to be top quality. No fitting has ever failed me. The threads have all been excellently cut and are well within specification for NPT design. When wrapped with PTFE and tightened properly (not over-tight..) they never leak. The barbed shank is longer than some others and holds tightly to hose. Once again, when clamped properly there will never be a leak. The hex shape on the exterior is perfect for use with a typical open-end wrench. Nicely machined and finished. There are just no faults with this fitting. Like every other Anderson product I have used (SO FAR..!!!) I can find nothing to complain about. Five stars...

use it to connect a garden sprayer to a kitchen sink sprayer, works great.

Item is not in use as yet. Needed for mechanical class.

Dimensionally correct and well made. No machining remnants or surface defects.

Good quality overall. Good threads. They fit well.

Works like it’s supposed to. Don’t know why it took 3 weeks to get from Illinois to Montana. I guess the Pony Express is still in business!
