Midland Industries 20107 Brass Swivel Male Branch Tee

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20107 is a brass swivel male branch tee designed for push-to-connect tubing systems that require a threaded branch outlet. It features two 3/8-inch push-to-connect ports and one 1/4-inch male NPT swivel connection. The positional swivel on the NPT end allows the branch outlet to be rotated and locked into position, simplifying routing in tight installations. Overall length is 2.1 inches, with a 0.56-inch hex and a 1/4-18 thread specification. Rated for temperatures from -10 to 200 degrees F, this fitting is suited for air, water, and compatible fluid lines in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications. Installation is typically handled by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems where a branch connection is needed from a push-to-connect line. The inline ports accept 3/8-inch OD tubing via push-to-connect, while the swivel branch provides a 1/4-inch male NPT threaded outlet that can be directed as needed during assembly. Center-to-end dimensions of 0.96 by 1.14 inches allow it to fit in compact manifold or distribution configurations. It is a direct-connect solution that does not require soldering, flaring, or compression sleeves on the push-to-connect ports.

Key Features

• Positional swivel on 1/4-inch male NPT branch allows outlet angle to be set during installation
• Two 3/8-inch push-to-connect ports for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, and compatible fluid media
• Rated from -10 to 200 degrees F for use in a wide range of service conditions
• Compact 2.1-inch overall length fits in space-constrained panel and equipment installations
• 1/4-18 NPT thread on swivel outlet ensures standard-compliant threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for push-to-connect brass tee applications requiring a 3/8-inch x 3/8-inch x 1/4-inch male NPT swivel configuration in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant. De-pressurize and drain the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and fully inserted into the push-to-connect ports to achieve a proper seal. Hand-tighten the swivel NPT outlet to the mating fitting before applying tool torque, and verify swivel position is set before final tightening to avoid rotating assembled lines.
