Midland Industries 20059SS 3/8 in Ptc X 3/8 in Npt Ss Connector

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20059SS is a push-to-connect male connector designed for quick, tool-free tubing connections in plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-handling systems. One end accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing via a push-to-connect mechanism, while the other end threads into a 3/8-inch male NPT port using a 3/8-18 thread form. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposure, or outdoor environments. It is suited for applications where a standard brass fitting would be prone to corrosion or contamination concerns.

This connector is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, compressed air lines, water treatment equipment, and process fluid lines where stainless steel is specified. The push-to-connect end allows fast field connections without soldering, flaring, or compression tools, making it practical for service technicians and installers working in tight spaces or high-turnover maintenance environments. Its compact profile supports installations where fitting clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 3/8-inch push-to-connect inlet for tool-free, fast tube insertion and release
• 3/8-inch male NPT outlet with 3/8-18 thread for direct port threading
• Compact dimensions support installations in confined spaces
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style stainless steel push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems specifying 3/8-inch OD tubing with 3/8-inch male NPT port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Verify that tubing OD matches the push-to-connect port size before insertion to ensure a proper seal.
