The fitting uses a threaded 1\/8 in connection size with a 5\/16-24 thread specification and features a 0.31 in hex profile for standard wrench engagement. Constructed from brass, the 16009 delivers reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F and is rated to 500 psi. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists install this type of fitting where tubing must be connected and periodically removed without damaging the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis break-away nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving small-diameter tubing runs. It is compatible with aluminum, copper, and plastic tubing, making it a versatile choice for refrigerant lines, pneumatic control circuits, fuel systems, and instrument tubing. The double compression design creates a two-stage grip on the tubing wall, providing a more secure seal than single-ferrule fittings in vibration-prone or high-cycle environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble compression sleeve design for a secure two-stage tubing grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 500 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with aluminum, copper, and plastic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 in threaded connection with 5\/16-24 thread size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum, copper, and plastic tubing in double compression fitting assemblies requiring a 1\/8 in threaded break-away nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics. Shut off all pressure to the tubing system before disassembly or installation. Use a properly sized wrench on the 0.31 in hex to avoid rounding the fitting. Do not overtighten, as the brass body can be damaged; hand-tighten and follow with a fractional turn per standard compression fitting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948848185650,"sku":"16009","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/326fb6274302b5889dce6fde2b6f07bc.jpg?v=1791674808","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-16009-double-compression-break-away-nut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
