Midland Industries 18097 Bulkhead Nut 1/4 in Compression Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 18097 is a brass bulkhead nut designed for 1/4-inch compression connections in fluid and gas line installations. It provides a secure, leak-resistant fitting point where a compression line must pass through a panel, wall, or enclosure. Rated to 300 psi and capable of handling temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting suits a wide range of service conditions. The 7/16-24 thread size ensures a precise fit during assembly. Brass construction resists corrosion and holds up in both wet and dry environments. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of hardware during equipment panel or bulkhead line routing work.

This bulkhead nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 1/4-inch compression line requires a clean, secure transition through a partition or enclosure wall. Typical uses include refrigeration line sets, HVAC equipment panels, and plumbing equipment enclosures. Its compact form factor, measuring 0.55 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, allows it to fit in tight spaces without issue. It is commonly paired with standard 1/4-inch compression tubing and associated ferrules and sleeves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench to snug the fitting without overtightening, which can damage the compression ferrule or thread. Verify all connections for leaks after restoring system pressure.
