Midland Industries 16130 Brass 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 16130 is a brass 90 degree compression elbow fitting designed to connect small-diameter tubing to a male iron pipe (MIP) threaded port. The fitting accepts a 1/4 inch OD tube on the sleeve end and transitions to a 1/8 inch MIP thread on the pipe end, using a 7/16-24 x 1/8-27 thread specification. Rated for up to 500 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this elbow is built for reliable performance in compressed air, refrigeration, and fluid transfer lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in tight-space routing applications where a 90 degree directional change is required.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where small-bore tubing must connect to a threaded port at a right angle. The sleeve connection is compatible with aluminum tubing, copper tubing, and plastic tubing when used with an internal tube support insert. The compact body size of 1/2 inch makes it appropriate for panel or equipment installations with limited clearance. Center to sleeve end measures 0.52 inches and center to threaded end measures 0.62 inches, which is useful for tight layout planning.

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and copper tubing or plastic tubing with an internal tube support insert, in applications requiring a 1/4 inch OD tube connection to a 1/8 inch MIP threaded port.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by qualified plumbers or HVAC technicians. Before installation, shut off and depressurize the supply line completely. Insert an internal tube support when using plastic tubing to prevent sleeve collapse under compression. Hand-tighten the sleeve nut first, then use a wrench to achieve a secure seal without over-torquing the brass body, which can crack or deform.
