Midland Industries 20023NIC 1/8 Ptc X 1/4 Npt Male Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20023NIC is a nickel-plated brass male adapter designed to transition a 1/8-inch push-to-connect port to a 1/4-inch male NPT threaded fitting. The nickel collet provides a secure, tool-free connection on the push-to-connect end, while the 1/4-18 NPT thread engages standard threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and inline components. Nickel plating adds corrosion resistance over the brass base material, making this adapter suitable for pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing, and light fluid transfer applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting where a quick-connect tube end must terminate at a threaded male port.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever 1/8-inch OD tubing must connect to a 1/4-inch NPT threaded port. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control systems, compressed air lines, and instrumentation or sensing tube runs. The push-to-connect end accepts tubing without additional tools, reducing installation time in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. The male NPT end threads directly into a female NPT port on a valve body, manifold, or equipment housing.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch push-to-connect inlet accepts tubing without additional tooling
• 1/4-inch male NPT outlet threads into standard female NPT ports
• Nickel collet construction for secure tube retention and release
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance in pneumatic and fluid applications
• 1/4-18 thread specification for compatibility with standard NPT fittings
• Compact profile at 0.7 inches height and 0.45 inches length for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 1/8-inch push-to-connect tubing and 1/4-inch female NPT threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines before threading into the female port. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper seal.
