Midland Industries 15031216 45-deg Swivel Adapter Elbow Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 15031216 is a 45-degree swivel adapter elbow designed for hydraulic and industrial pipe systems. It connects a 3/4-inch Male NPTF thread on one end to a 1-inch Female NPSM swivel on the other, allowing controlled directional routing with rotational flexibility at the swivel joint. Constructed from steel, this fitting delivers the mechanical strength required in high-demand hydraulic lines. The 45-degree angle simplifies plumbing in tight or angled routing situations where a straight adapter would not clear surrounding components. Licensed plumbers and hydraulic technicians install this fitting as part of steel pipe assemblies in both mobile and stationary hydraulic equipment.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic system applications where a transition between NPTF and NPSM thread standards is required at a 45-degree offset. It belongs to the 1503 Series of steel pipe swivel adapters and is commonly used in industrial machinery, fluid power systems, and heavy equipment hydraulic lines. The swivel feature allows the downstream line to be positioned and locked without twisting the hose or pipe during final assembly. Its compact footprint, measuring 3 inches in length and 1.8 inches in width, fits into confined hydraulic manifold areas.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style steel pipe swivel adapter for hydraulic systems requiring a 3/4-inch Male NPTF to 1-inch Female NPSM swivel connection at a 45-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with NPTF and NPSM thread standards. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF male threads per system fluid compatibility requirements; NPSM swivel joints rely on a sealing face rather than thread sealant on the swivel end. Torque the fitting to the system specification using appropriate wrenches - avoid over-tightening steel fittings into threaded ports, as this can damage threads or distort port seats.
