Midland Industries 20612NIC 8mm Push-to-connect Union Tee Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20612NIC is a metric union tee fitting designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid line applications. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nickel collet, this three-way tee accepts 8mm tubing on all three ports, allowing a single supply line to branch in two directions without additional adapters or tools. The nickel-plated finish improves corrosion resistance over standard brass and suits applications where moisture or aggressive environments are a concern. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers working with metric tubing will find this fitting straightforward to install and reliable in service.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial systems using 8mm metric tubing, including pneumatic control lines, instrumentation air, and fluid distribution runs. Its push-to-connect design allows tube insertion without ferrules, compression sleeves, or solder, making it well suited for tight spaces or quick-connect panel assemblies. The metric sizing targets imported equipment and European-spec systems commonly found in HVAC controls, refrigeration, and compressed air distribution.

Key Features

• Equal 8mm push-to-connect ports on all three connections for consistent flow in branch configurations
• Nickel-plated brass body provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to unplated brass
• Nickel collet ensures positive tube retention and a secure seal without secondary tools
• Metric sizing designed for 8mm OD tubing common in imported and European-spec equipment
• Compact profile at 1.6 inches length and 1.05 inches width fits constrained installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect union tee for systems using 8mm OD metric tubing in pneumatic, instrumentation, or fluid line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic system technicians. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system fully and verify zero pressure before inserting or removing tubing. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC guidelines for fluid and gas line fittings where required by jurisdiction.
