Midland Industries 20030NIC Brass Union Tee 1/2 in Ptc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20030NIC is a brass union tee fitting with a nickel-plated body and nickel collet, designed for push-to-connect (PTC) plumbing and fluid distribution applications. All three ports accept 1/2-inch push-to-connect connections, allowing fast, tool-free assembly without soldering, threading, or compression fittings. The nickel plating adds corrosion resistance over the base brass construction. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a three-way branch is needed in a PTC tubing system. At 0.14 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial installations.

This union tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where push-to-connect tubing runs require a branch connection. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and similar low-pressure fluid systems using compatible 1/2-inch PTC tubing. The three-port union configuration allows the fitting to be installed mid-run or at a branch point without special tools, making it practical for retrofit and new construction work alike.

Key Features

• All three ports are 1/2-inch push-to-connect for tool-free, solder-free assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect union tee for use with standard 1/2-inch PTC tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Before installing or servicing this fitting, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter and that the tube is inserted to full depth into each collet port to achieve a proper seal. Inspect each connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
