Midland Industries 19224 Brass Compression Male Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 19224 is a brass compression male elbow fitting designed to connect a 1/4-inch compression line to a 1/8-inch male NPTF threaded port. This is a body-only fitting - no compression nut is included. The elbow configuration allows directional changes in tubing runs where a straight fitting is not practical. Fabricated from brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and fluid-transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compression connection must transition to a male NPTF threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Common install scenarios include instrument connections, fuel gas accessories, pneumatic controls, and water supply lines where an elbow transition is required. Because the compression nut is sold separately, technicians should verify that a compatible nut and ferrule are on hand before installation.

Key Features

• Body-only fitting - compression nut not included; order nut and ferrule separately
• 1/4-inch compression inlet connects to standard compression tubing
• 1/8-inch male NPTF threaded outlet provides a pressure-tight thread-form seal
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas service
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows directional changes in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation brass compression fitting for systems requiring a 1/4-inch compression to 1/8-inch male NPTF elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 supply line before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Because this is a body-only part, a separate compression nut and ferrule must be used to complete the connection - do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify NPTF thread engagement and use an appropriate thread sealant on the male threads per the system manufacturer's recommendations.
