Midland Industries 20726N Straight Reducing Union 8mm X 6mm

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20726N is a straight reducing union fitting designed to connect two push-to-connect lines of different metric sizes. The larger end accepts 8 mm tubing and the smaller end accepts 6 mm tubing, both via tool-free push-to-connect engagement. The body is nickel-plated brass, providing corrosion resistance suited to pneumatic and fluid control applications. Overall length is 1.931 inches, with a center-to-end dimension of 1.365 inches on one side and 0.566 inches on the other. Rated for pressures from 0 to 290 psi and temperatures from -4 to 176 degrees F, this fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system technicians working with metric push-to-connect tubing runs.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where a metric push-to-connect system transitions between 8 mm and 6 mm tube sizes. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid transfer systems where a compact inline reducer is needed without threading or soldering. Its metric sizing makes it well suited for equipment of European or Asian manufacture that uses metric tubing standards.

Key Features

• Reduces from 8 mm push-to-connect to 6 mm push-to-connect in a single inline fitting
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in pneumatic and fluid service
• Rated 0 to 290 psi working pressure
• Operating temperature range -4 to 176 degrees F
• Tool-free push-to-connect engagement on both ends
• Compact overall length of 1.931 inches for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with metric push-to-connect tubing systems requiring an inline straight reducing union between 8 mm and 6 mm tube outside diameters.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require threading tools or solder - tubing is inserted directly into each push-to-connect end after the system is depressurized and depowered. Verify that tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely before insertion to ensure a proper seal. Follow all applicable plumbing and pneumatic codes for the jurisdiction. Depressurize the entire line before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting.
