Midland Industries 20502C Push-to-connect Female Connector

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20502C is a push-to-connect female connector designed to join 3/16-inch tubing to a 1/8-inch female NPT threaded port. Built with a composite body, this fitting provides a fast, tool-free tube connection on one end and a standard NPT thread on the other. It is commonly used in low-pressure fluid and pneumatic control lines found in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. The 1/8-27 NPT thread engages securely with standard fittings and ports, making this connector a reliable solution for both new installations and service replacements where quick-connect convenience is needed.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where 3/16-inch tubing connects to equipment or manifolds with 1/8-inch NPT ports. Typical install scenarios include condensate management lines, pneumatic control tubing, and low-pressure fluid distribution runs. Its compact size, measuring 1.05 inches in length and 0.55 inches in height, makes it practical in tight equipment cabinets and confined mechanical spaces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/16-inch OD tubing with 1/8-inch female NPT connection points in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing control line applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers working on low-pressure tubing systems. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, with no burrs, before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper seal. Thread the NPT side in accordance with applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, using appropriate thread sealant on the male NPT threads engaging this fitting.
