Midland Industries 19224B Compression Elbow Brass 1/4 X 1/8

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 19224B is a barstock brass elbow body designed for compression-to-male NPTF transitions in small-bore tubing systems. It converts a 1/4-inch compression connection to a 1/8-inch male NPTF thread, making a 90-degree directional change in a compact form factor. This is a body-only fitting - no compression nut is included. Machined from brass barstock, it delivers reliable sealing in low-to-medium pressure fluid and gas line applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation installers use this fitting where space is tight and a clean angle transition is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC controls, pneumatic instrumentation lines, and fuel gas pilot systems where 1/4-inch OD tubing terminates at a 1/8-inch NPTF port. Its compact dimensions - 0.75 inches in length and 0.9 inches in width - make it practical in panel-mounted equipment and tight equipment enclosures. The male NPTF thread end provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the mating port without requiring thread sealant when properly torqued.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch compression inlet to 1/8-inch male NPTF outlet - handles directional change in one fitting
• Barstock brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• Body-only design - compression nut must be sourced separately
• Compact profile at 0.75 inches length and 0.9 inches width suits confined spaces
• NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal mechanical fit at the threaded connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/4-inch OD compression tubing terminating at 1/8-inch male NPTF ports, typical in HVAC controls, plumbing, and pneumatic instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Shut off the supply line and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Because this is a body-only fitting, confirm the correct compression nut size is on hand before beginning work. Do not overtighten the compression connection, as brass barstock fittings can deform if excessive force is applied.
