Midland Industries 17193N 1/2 in Compression X 1/4 in Mip Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 17193N is a nylon plastic adapter fitting that transitions a 1/2 inch compression connection to a 1/4 inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread. Molded from nylon, this white fitting is rated for working pressures up to 125 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. The thread configuration is 11/16-20 on the compression side and 1/4-18 NPT on the male thread side. Its lightweight construction makes it a practical choice for low-pressure fluid transfer lines in plumbing, instrumentation, or OEM equipment applications where metal fittings are not required.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compression tube line needs to connect to a 1/4 inch male pipe thread port. Typical installation scenarios include water supply lines, pneumatic tubing, and appliance connections in environments where temperature and pressure remain within the rated limits. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment service technicians commonly use this fitting when making tube-to-threaded transitions in tight spaces or corrosion-sensitive environments.

Key Features

• Transitions 1/2 inch compression tubing to 1/4 inch MIP threaded port in a single fitting
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is compatible with many fluid and low-pressure pneumatic applications
• Rated to 125 psi working pressure
• Wide temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F suits varied install environments
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, minimizing stress on connected tubing
• Thread dimensions of 11/16-20 compression and 1/4-18 MIP for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for plastic compression fitting applications requiring a male iron pipe thread outlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Hand-tighten the MIP threads into the receiving port first, then apply appropriate thread sealant on the pipe threads per local code requirements. Do not overtighten nylon fittings; use only enough torque to achieve a leak-free seal, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
