Watts ANKA glass-fiber-reinforced nylon barb-to-male-pipe-thread adapter for poly pipe and braided vinyl hose. The blue captive Easy Grip nut threads down over the barb and clamps the pipe in place - no separate hose clamp needed. The fitting body is corrosion-proof and won't galvanize against galvanized steel threads. Typical uses at 1/2" include drip irrigation feeds, water transfer for small pumps, RV supply, and light garden lines.

• Connection: 1/2" barb x 1/2" male iron pipe thread (MIP)
• Glass-fiber-reinforced nylon body - lightweight, corrosion-proof, no galvanic action
• Blue captive Easy Grip nut - hand tighten then snug with a wrench, no separate clamp
• For polyethylene pipe, braided vinyl tubing, and garden-hose-grade reinforced hose
• Working pressure: 230 PSI maximum
• Operating temperature: up to 140 deg F
• Reusable - can be disconnected and reconnected without damaging the fitting

Tip: Cut poly pipe square and warm the pipe end with hot water before pushing it onto the barb - cold poly resists the barb and the nut threads will cross. Tighten the captive nut until the pipe stops slipping when you pull it; don't crank past that point or the nylon nut threads will strip.
