It features three compression ports: two at 1\/2 inch and one at 3\/8 inch, allowing a single run of tubing to branch to a smaller line without soldering or threading. The body size measures 0.59 inches, with center-to-end dimensions of 0.94 by 0.81 inches. Rated to 200 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles the demands of residential and light commercial service work. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18117 is suited for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in water supply, refrigeration lines, and similar fluid systems where a compression-style reducing branch connection is required. Its compact body size makes it appropriate for tight spaces in residential plumbing retrofits, appliance supply lines, and hydronic branch runs where tube diameters need to step down from 1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch at the branch port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged brass construction for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-port compression design: 1\/2 inch x 1\/2 inch x 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread spec: 11\/16-20 x 9\/16-24 compression threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing.

Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disconnecting or fitting any compression connection. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation  -  deburr and square-cut tubing ends before seating the ferrule. Do not overtighten compression nuts; snug plus a partial turn is the standard practice for most compression fittings of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16-20 x 9\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 x 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.240 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951961014578,"sku":"18117","price":20.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/17f16b8ee3511a8fec7b5c7a25bce7b5.jpg?v=1791742382","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-18117-reducing-tee-compression-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
