Midland Industries 20724P Reducing Branch Tee Push-in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20724P is a reducing branch tee designed for push-in tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. It splits one 1/2-inch inlet into two 3/8-inch outlets using a tool-free push-in connection style, making it a fast and reliable choice for branching lines without solvent cement or compression tools. Constructed from polypropylene, it handles working pressures up to 170 psi and operates across a temperature range of 34 to 150 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service pros use this fitting wherever a compact, lightweight plastic tee is needed to reduce and branch tubing runs.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, water, or compatible fluid distribution lines. Its push-in design allows for rapid assembly and disassembly in tight spaces where wrench access is limited. At 2.35 inches in length and 1.6 inches in width, it fits easily in panel cutouts, equipment enclosures, and inline tubing assemblies. The reducing configuration is especially useful when transitioning from a larger supply line to smaller branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Push-in fittings should be installed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician following applicable codes such as the IPC or local authority having jurisdiction. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Confirm tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-in port, as irregular cuts can compromise the seal. Do not exceed the rated pressure or temperature limits of this fitting in service.
