Midland Industries 20301 Brass 90 Deg Flareless Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20301 is a brass 90-degree flareless elbow fitting designed for low-pressure fluid and gas line connections in tight-space routing applications. It connects 3/16-inch tube OD on one end to a 1/8-inch female NPT (FNPTF) threaded port on the other, allowing a direction change from tube to pipe-thread in a compact form. Rated to 150 psi and suited for temperature ranges from -40 to 150 degrees F, this fitting handles the conditions common in refrigeration, pneumatic, and instrumentation lines. It is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where aluminum or copper tubing must transition to a female NPT port. Typical install scenarios include control line connections, sensing line routing, and instrument panel tubing work where a 90-degree turn and a pipe-thread termination are required in the same fitting. Its compact profile suits panel-mounted and manifold-style assemblies where straight fittings cannot be used due to space constraints.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow body simplifies direction changes without additional elbows or unions
• 3/16-inch tube OD flareless connection on one end for aluminum or copper tubing
• 1/8-inch FNPTF port on the second end for direct pipe-thread termination
• Rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Temperature range: -40 to 150 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and copper tubing in flareless tube OD to female NPT fitting applications. Thread specification is 5/16-24 x 3/8-24.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified HVAC technician or plumber following applicable codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate tube cutters and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before insertion. Do not overtighten brass fittings; follow the fitting manufacturer's standard makeup procedure for flareless compression connections.
