Midland Industries 12081 90-deg Elbow 1 in Inverted Flare X Mnptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 12081 is a 90-degree elbow fitting machined from brass, designed to connect hydraulic tubing lines at a right angle. One end accepts a 1-inch Female Inverted Flare connection with a 1-5/16-16 thread; the other end is a 1-inch Male National Pipe Taper Fuel (MNPTF) thread at 1-11/2 UNF. The fitting measures 1.02 inches center to end on the flare side and 1.69 inches center to end on the pipe side. It is rated for service from -65 to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the primary installers.

The 12081 is intended for use with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing in residential, commercial, and light industrial fluid-power systems. It is a standard inline directional fitting used wherever a 90-degree change of direction is needed between an inverted-flare tubing run and a threaded port or component. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic fluids and fuel-line media within the rated temperature range.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow routes hydraulic tubing at a right angle without bending or kinking the line
• 1-inch Female Inverted Flare inlet (1-5/16-16 thread) mates directly to standard inverted-flare tubing
• 1-inch MNPTF outlet provides a tapered pipe-thread connection to ports and adapters
• Brass construction resists corrosion and suits aluminum, brass, copper, and steel tubing
• Rated from -65 to 250 degrees F for broad-range hydraulic and fuel-line service
• Compact envelope: 1.02 inches and 1.69 inches center-to-end dimensions

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing on systems using 1-inch inverted-flare and 1-inch MNPTF connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid line fully before removing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the MNPTF threads per the fluid-system manufacturer guidelines; the inverted-flare end relies on metal-to-metal seating and does not require sealant. Verify that the tubing flare angle and seat condition are correct before final torque to prevent leaks.
