The fitting transitions a 3\/4-inch tube OD on one end to a 1\/2-inch male NPTF connection on the other, using a 1-18 x 1\/2-14 thread specification. With a rated working pressure of 100 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, it is suited for fluid and gas lines in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is used wherever a 90-degree directional change is required between a compression tube connection and a threaded male NPTF port. Typical applications include residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing supply lines, and pneumatic or hydraulic circuits using copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing. The compact body size of 0.94 inches makes it practical in tight installation spaces. Center-to-end dimensions of 1.19 x 1.31 inches allow for accurate layout and planning in close-quarters piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree elbow configuration for directional tubing changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch tube OD compression inlet accepts copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male NPTF outlet with 1-18 x 1\/2-14 thread specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 100 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide service temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in compression-fitting applications requiring a 3\/4-inch tube OD inlet and a 1\/2-inch male NPTF threaded outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating them into the compression end to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch Tube OD\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 Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-18 x 1\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 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\u003eBody Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.19 x 1.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.260 pounds\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: 18243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952119775538,"sku":"18243","price":21.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e9ada0ee2c81c52fdfff7f7d286659e.jpg?v=1791747354","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-18243-brass-90-degree-compression-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
