Midland Industries 20022NA Reducing Connector Push-to-connect

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20022NA is a nickel-plated brass reducing connector designed for push-to-connect tubing systems. It joins two different tube sizes without tools, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid-handling lines. The 20022NA accepts 3/8-inch tubing on one end and 1/4-inch tubing on the other, making it a practical solution wherever line sizes change mid-run. Rated from 0 to 290 psi and suitable for temperatures between -4 and 176 degrees F, it handles the operating conditions found in most light industrial and mechanical system applications. The nickel plating resists corrosion and adds durability in demanding environments.

This reducing connector is used in residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect pneumatic or fluid-control lines require a size transition. Common install scenarios include HVAC control tubing, compressed air distribution, and refrigeration ancillary lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working with push-to-connect tubing systems will find this fitting a direct, tool-free solution for reducing line size inline.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on both ends - no tools or crimping required for assembly
• Reduces from 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch tubing in a single inline fitting
• Rated to 290 psi for use in pressurized pneumatic and fluid systems
• Operating temperature range of -4 to 176 degrees F suits most mechanical system environments
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life
• Compact profile at approximately 0.6 inches wide by 1.55 inches in height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect reducing connector compatible with 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch OD tubing in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems rated up to 290 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or qualified mechanical contractors. Before installing or removing any fitting, depressurize the line completely and verify zero pressure at the connection point. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter for a proper push-to-connect seal. Refer to applicable mechanical codes for pressure-rated fitting requirements in your jurisdiction.
