Midland Industries 20048N Male Adapter Push-to-connect Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20048N is a nickel-plated brass male adapter designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid control applications. It transitions a 1/8-inch push-to-connect port to a 1/8-inch male global thread, allowing quick, tool-free tube insertion on one end and a threaded connection on the other. Rated to 290 psi and suitable for temperatures from -4 to 176 degrees F, this fitting handles compressed air, light hydraulic, and instrumentation service in demanding environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians use this adapter in panel assemblies, manifolds, and equipment hookups where reliable sealing and fast assembly are required.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial systems where push-to-connect fittings are specified for compressed air lines, pneumatic controls, or instrumentation tubing. Its global thread configuration supports international-style ported components, making it a common choice in OEM equipment assemblies and aftermarket service work. The compact size and nickel-plated finish make it appropriate for installations in tight spaces or corrosive environments where bare brass may not hold up over time.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect inlet accepts tubing without additional tools for fast assembly
• 1/8-inch male global thread outlet for compatibility with globally ported components
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion and provides a clean finish
• 290 psi pressure rating suitable for compressed air and light fluid service
• Wide temperature range of -4 to 176 degrees F covers most indoor and light industrial installations
• Compact profile at 0.77 inches in length fits confined panel and manifold layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect male adapter for pneumatic and fluid control systems requiring a 1/8-inch push-to-connect to 1/8-inch male global thread transition in nickel-plated brass.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted to the full depth of the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. Verify that the global thread connection is tightened to a snug fit using the 0.43-inch hex and that appropriate thread sealant or tape is applied per local plumbing or mechanical code requirements.
