Midland Industries 20072 3/8 Ptc X 1/4 Npt Brass Male Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20072 is a 90-degree fixed male elbow fitting designed to transition a 3/8-inch push-to-connect line to a 1/4-inch male NPT threaded port. Constructed from forged brass, this fitting is suited for use in compressed air, water, and pneumatic control lines where a right-angle direction change is needed at a threaded port connection. The push-to-connect end accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing without tools, while the 1/4-inch male NPT thread mates directly to a female-threaded fitting, valve, or manifold. Rated for service from -10 to 200 degrees F, this elbow fits residential and light commercial plumbing and pneumatic applications.

This fitting is commonly installed in HVAC control lines, pneumatic actuator supply runs, compressed air distribution systems, and water treatment plumbing where space is limited and a fixed-angle elbow simplifies routing. The 1/2-inch body size and compact 0.98 x 0.98-inch center-to-end dimensions make it practical in tight equipment cabinets and panel enclosures. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers are the primary trades working with this fitting.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic system technicians. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads in accordance with IPC or IFGC guidelines as applicable to the service type. Confirm tubing OD is exactly 3/8 inch and that the tube end is cleanly cut and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect collet.
