Midland Industries 20111NA Swivel Male Branch Tee 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20111NA is a nickel-plated brass swivel male branch tee designed for push-to-connect plumbing and fluid-control applications. It features three 1/2-inch ports: two push-to-connect ends and one male global thread swivel connection. The swivel design allows rotational adjustment during installation without disturbing the tubing run, reducing stress on connected components. Rated from 0 to 290 psi and suitable for temperatures between -4 and 176 degrees F, this fitting is built for reliable service in moderate-pressure systems. The nickel plating adds corrosion resistance over the brass base material. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic, and fluid-distribution systems where a branch takeoff is needed in a push-to-connect line. The male global thread swivel port allows connection to a fixed threaded port on a valve, manifold, or equipment fitting without rotating the tubing. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, compressed-air distribution, and similar moderate-pressure fluid systems where push-to-connect speed and swivel flexibility are both required.

Key Features

• Three-port branch tee configuration: two push-to-connect ends plus one male global thread swivel
• All ports sized at 1/2 inch for straightforward same-size branch connections
• Swivel male thread rotates for alignment without disturbing tubing
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated 0 to 290 psi operating pressure
• Operating temperature range: -4 to 176 degrees F
• 1/2-22 thread specification with 0.82-inch hex for wrench engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch tubing lines in moderate-pressure plumbing and fluid-distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the line fully before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the 0.82-inch hex to tighten the swivel male thread port; follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code torque and assembly requirements.
