Midland Industries 00069-1006 Compression Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 00069-1006 is a 90-degree compression elbow fitting machined from forged brass. It connects 5/8-inch compression tubing on one end to a 3/8-inch male NPTF threaded port on the other, making a direction change in a fluid line while transitioning between connection types. Thread specifications are 13/16-18 on the compression side and 3/8-18 on the NPTF side. Rated to 150 psi and designed to operate across a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting is suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This elbow is designed for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial systems where a 90-degree change in line direction is required at a threaded port connection. The compact body size of 0.68 inches and center-to-end dimensions of 1.06 x 1.12 inches make it practical in tight plumbing or equipment cabinet installations where space is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing before applying a wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten the NPTF threaded connection; use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system fluid.
