Midland Industries 17106N Union Tee 1/2 in Compression Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 17106N is a three-port nylon union tee fitting designed for use in plastic compression plumbing assemblies. All three ports accept 1/2-inch compression connections, making this a symmetrical tee suitable for branching or joining tubing runs without solvent welding or heat. The white nylon construction resists corrosion and is lightweight at 0.07 pounds. A 11/16-20 thread specification governs the compression nut interface. Plumbers and pipefitters working on low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, or fluid-handling systems select this fitting where a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic union tee is required.

This union tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where plastic compression fittings are specified. Typical installations include potable water supply lines, irrigation laterals, and fluid distribution panels that use tubing compatible with 1/2-inch compression-style connections. The union design allows the fitting to be disassembled and reassembled without cutting tubing, which is useful in maintenance-access areas or systems that require periodic service.

Key Features

• Three-port union tee with identical 1/2-inch compression connections on all ports
• Nylon construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility for common water service fluids
• Union-style design permits disassembly without cutting or damaging tubing
• 11/16-20 thread specification on compression nut interfaces
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds, minimizing load on tubing runs
• White finish for visual identification in plastic compression systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for plastic compression plumbing systems using 1/2-inch outside-diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating into the compression port to prevent leaks. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for plastic fitting use in the intended service environment.
