Midland Industries 17103P Union Tee 1/4 in Compression Poly

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 17103P is a three-port union tee fitting constructed from polypropylene, designed for use in low-pressure fluid distribution systems. All three ports accept 1/4-inch compression connections, allowing a single supply line to branch into two outlets without the use of solvents, threading, or specialized tooling. The compression-style design creates a secure, leak-resistant seal when properly assembled. At 0.01 pounds, this fitting is lightweight and well-suited for tight installation spaces. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial applications where plastic compression fittings are code-acceptable.

This union tee is a standard plastic compression fitting used in water supply, tubing distribution, and low-pressure pneumatic or fluid lines where polypropylene construction is appropriate. The equal-sized 1/4-inch ports on all three connections make it suitable for splitting or combining flow in a single plane without reducers or adapters. Typical installation scenarios include RO water filtration systems, ice maker supply lines, and similar small-diameter tubing runs where quick, tool-minimal connections are preferred by service technicians.

Key Features

• Three-way union tee with equal 1/4-inch compression ports on all connections
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and is compatible with many potable water and fluid applications
• Compression-style connections require no solvents, threading, or heat for assembly
• Compact profile measuring 2.3 inches in length and 1.45 inches in width
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic compression tubing systems using 1/4-inch outside-diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Always shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing compression fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely before seating into the compression ports to prevent leaks. Verify that polypropylene is compatible with the fluid type, temperature range, and local plumbing code requirements for the intended application.
