Midland Industries 08720-1006 Single Barb 90 Deg Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 08720-1006 is a single barb male 90-degree elbow fitting machined from brass. It connects a 5/8-inch single barb hose end to a 3/8-inch male NPTF port, making a right-angle transition in fluid or gas lines where inline routing is not practical. The NPTF thread profile creates a pressure-tight dry seal without requiring additional sealant, though thread tape or compound is commonly used in field installations. Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure with a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F, this fitting suits a broad range of light industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-transfer applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial systems where a hose barb-to-NPT right-angle connection is required. Common applications include condensate drain lines, coolant circuits, chemical feed lines, and pneumatic tubing assemblies. The 90-degree angle allows routing in tight equipment cabinets or near bulkheads where a straight fitting would conflict with surrounding components. The brass construction resists corrosion in water and many common fluid media, making it a dependable choice for both new construction and service replacement work.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle hose-to-pipe transitions in confined spaces
• 5/8-inch single barb end retains hose with a secure mechanical grip
• 3/8-inch male NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight dry seal at the pipe connection
• Rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and common fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 5/8-inch single barb hose connection to a 3/8-18 male NPTF port in a 90-degree orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and mechanical technicians. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPTF threads per local code and the fitting manufacturer guidance. Secure the hose over the barb with an appropriately sized clamp and verify no leaks under system pressure before returning the system to service.
