Midland Industries 10449B 45 Degree Barstock Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 10449B is a forged brass 45-degree barstock elbow fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid system connections. It transitions between a 1/4 inch Male SAE 45-degree flared end and a 1/4 inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) end, using a 7/16-20 thread on both connections. Rated to 1400 psi and suited for temperatures ranging from -65 to 250 degrees F, this elbow is built for reliable performance in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers work with this type of fitting in both new construction and repair applications.

The 10449B is used where a 45-degree directional change is needed in a hydraulic or fluid line. Compatible tubing materials include copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing. This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial systems where SAE 45-degree flare connections are specified, including refrigeration lines, hydraulic circuits, and compressed air or fluid distribution systems that require a compact, angled transition from flare to pipe thread.

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing systems requiring SAE 45-degree flare to male pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or hydraulic system technicians. Shut down system pressure and isolate the line before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant on the MPT end per the fluid system requirements, and verify the flare seat condition before torquing the connection. Installations involving refrigerant lines must comply with applicable mechanical and refrigeration codes.
