This Anderson Metals garden hose connector is made of brass and connects GHT threaded hose to an NPT threaded connection in a straight run. This coupling has female garden hose threads (GHT) for connecting to a male GHT connector on one end and female NPT threads on the other end to connect to a male NPT threaded connection for a tighter seal than straight threads. This connector is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability.

Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.

Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
