Midland Industries 20179C 1/2 in Ptc Female Bulkhead Fitting

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20179C is a composite push-to-connect female bulkhead fitting designed for quick, reliable tube connections through panel walls or enclosures. One side accepts a 1/2-inch push-to-connect tube insertion, while the other side provides a 1/2-inch female NPT threaded port, allowing the fitting to bridge a panel or bulkhead and connect to standard NPT-threaded components. The composite body keeps weight low at 0.14 pounds and resists corrosion in a range of fluid-handling environments. Rated to 150 psi with an operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees F, this fitting suits plumbing, pneumatic, and light fluid-distribution systems where a panel-mount connection point is needed.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tubing must pass through a panel, enclosure wall, or manifold mounting surface. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use push-to-connect bulkhead fittings to simplify installation in tight spaces or equipment enclosures. The 1/2-14 NPT thread on the female side is a standard size that mates with a wide variety of valves, manifolds, and threaded fittings. The push-to-connect side allows tool-free tube insertion, reducing labor time during assembly or service.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bulkhead fitting requires drilling or locating the correct panel hole size to seat the fitting body, then securing with the provided nut against the panel surface. Shut off all system pressure before installing or removing push-to-connect fittings. Verify tube end is cut square and deburred before insertion to ensure a proper seal. This fitting should be installed and pressure-tested by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes.
