Midland Industries 20166C Swivel Run Tee Composite Ptc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20166C is a composite-body swivel run tee designed for push-to-connect plumbing and gas distribution applications. It features three connection points: two 1/2-inch push-to-connect ends and one 3/8-inch male NPT swivel outlet. The positional swivel on the NPT port allows the branch to be oriented after assembly, reducing stress on connecting lines. Rated to 150 psi and suitable for service between 32 degrees F and 140 degrees F, this fitting suits residential and light commercial installations where quick, tool-free connections are required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This swivel run tee is used in push-to-connect piping systems where a branch connection with a swivel male NPT outlet is needed inline. It is well suited for water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and similar low-pressure fluid or gas systems within its rated temperature and pressure range. Its compact composite body makes it practical in tight spaces. The 3/8-18 thread specification on the male NPT swivel port ensures compatibility with standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Positional swivel on the 3/8-inch male NPT branch allows post-assembly orientation adjustment
• Two 1/2-inch push-to-connect ends for fast, tool-free inline connections
• Rated to 150 psi for reliable performance in low-to-medium pressure systems
• Operating range of 32 degrees F to 140 degrees F suits a wide range of service conditions
• Composite body construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance
• 3/8-18 NPT thread on the swivel port for standard fitting compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for push-to-connect composite body plumbing systems using 1/2-inch PTC tubing and 3/8-inch male NPT branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing fittings or inserting tubing into the push-to-connect ports. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and fully inserted to the stop before pressurizing. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating or operate outside the 32 degrees F to 140 degrees F temperature range.
