Midland Industries 20185C Push-to-connect Union Wye 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20185C is a composite-body push-to-connect union wye fitting designed for joining three runs of tubing in a single connection without soldering, crimping, or threading. All three ports accept 1/2-inch push-to-connect tubing, making this a true union-style wye that can be disassembled for service or reconfiguration. Rated at 150 psi and suitable for operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 140 degrees F, this fitting suits plumbing and hydronic distribution applications where fast, reliable connections are a priority. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use this fitting in residential and light commercial installations.

This union wye is suited for residential water distribution, in-wall plumbing rough-in, and light commercial plumbing systems where tubing runs need to be split or branched. The push-to-connect design allows installation in tight spaces without heat or specialty tooling, which makes it practical for remodel work and retrofit applications. It is compatible with standard 1/2-inch OD tubing types commonly used in potable water and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before inserting or removing tubing from any push-to-connect port. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are fully inserted until seated to achieve a proper seal. The union feature allows disconnection by depressing the release collar, but always verify the line is depressurized before disassembly.
