This Anderson Metals brass garden hose fitting is a male GHT to female NPT adapter (also called connector) and is suitable for connecting pipes, hoses, or fittings with different end types and diameters. The fitting is made of brass for durability and resistance to corrosion. It has male Garden Hose Thread (GHT) threads on one end and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on the other for connecting to a female and a male threaded pipe, hose, or fitting. The NPT threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This brass garden hose fitting is suitable for adapting garden hoses and pipes of different sizes in a wide range of applications.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
