Thats all.
It says nothing about the threads right?

If this barb is labeled like the ones I work with (standard Hardware Hank brass fittings), then the first 1/2" means that the threaded end is a standard 1/2" NPT tapered pipe thread, and the second 1/2" signifies that the outside of the barb end is designed to work with 1/2" ID tubing.
Another example: a 1/2" x 1/4" barb would have a 1/2" NPT threaded end and a 1/4" hose barb. You see the pattern...
In short, a 1/2" NPT tap should be exactly what you need.
Yep; you got it.
