Midland Industries 00070-0202 90 Deg Compression Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 00070-0202 is a 90-degree brass compression elbow designed to connect 1/8-inch compression tubing to a 1/8-inch female National Pipe Taper Fuel (FNPTF) port. The fitting transitions direction while changing connection type, making it useful in tight-space installations where a straight adapter will not fit. It is rated to 400 psi and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F. The body measures 0.56 inches with a center-to-end dimension of 0.69 by 0.56 inches. The thread specification is 5/16-24 on the compression side and 1/8-27 NPT on the female threaded side. Installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas service professionals in both residential and light commercial applications.

This elbow is suited for use in low-pressure fluid and gas line assemblies where copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing meets a female NPT port at a 90-degree angle. Typical applications include instrument lines, refrigeration accessory lines, pneumatic controls, and light-duty gas or fluid distribution systems. The compact body size allows installation in panels and enclosures with limited clearance. The fitting is compatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing as stated by the manufacturer.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8-inch copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing connecting to 1/8-inch FNPTF male NPT ports. Thread specification is 5/16-24 compression by 1/8-27 NPT.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a wrench, and avoid overtightening, which can crack brass compression seats. Verify that the tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before seating it into the compression end.
