Midland Industries 20093 Brass Fixed Male Run Tee 1/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20093 is a fixed male run tee designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid plumbing systems. Forged from brass, this tee features two push-to-connect ports on the run and a 1/4-18 Male NPT branch outlet, allowing a branch takeoff without interrupting the main line flow. The operating temperature range is -10 to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for compressed air, water, and compatible fluid lines in both light commercial and industrial settings. The 0.43-inch body size and compact 0.92-inch center-to-end dimensions keep installation tight and clean in space-restricted enclosures or equipment panels. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers commonly use this fitting where a quick-connect tee with a fixed NPT branch is required.

This fitting is applicable in residential and light commercial installations involving push-to-connect tubing systems. Typical scenarios include compressed air distribution, HVAC control tubing, and plumbing branch connections where speed of assembly and reliable sealing are priorities. The fixed male NPT branch allows direct threaded connection to valves, gauges, solenoids, or manifold ports without additional adapters. The push-to-connect run ports accept standard 1/4-inch OD tubing for a tool-free, leak-resistant connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to guarantee a proper seal. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the Male NPT branch threads per standard practice before making the threaded connection.
