Midland Industries 20736P 90-degree Reducing Elbow Push-in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20736P is a 90-degree reducing elbow fitting designed for push-in tube connections. It steps down from a 1/2-inch push-in tube inlet to a 3/8-inch push-in tube outlet, allowing a direction change and size reduction in a single fitting. Constructed from plastic in a gray finish, it is rated for service pressures from 100 to 170 psi and temperatures from 34 to 150 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting where a compact, tool-free connection is required in low-to-medium pressure tubing runs.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving air, gases, and vacuum lines. Its push-in design eliminates the need for thread sealant, compression tools, or specialty wrenches, making it a practical choice for routing tubing through tight spaces or when making quick field connections. Common install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, vacuum systems, and compressed air distribution networks where reducing the tube diameter at a 90-degree turn is required.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow allows a right-angle direction change and simultaneous tube size reduction in one body
• Push-in connection on both ports for tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• Rated 100 to 170 psi working pressure for use in pneumatic and vacuum circuits
• Operating temperature range of 34 to 150 degrees F covers typical indoor mechanical system environments
• Compatible with air, gases, and vacuum media
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in moist or chemically active environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with air, gas, and vacuum tubing systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch push-in reducing elbow connection. Suitable for standard push-in tube fittings in pneumatic control and compressed air distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools for tube insertion - ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely before seating into the push-in ports. Power down or depressurize the system fully before disconnecting or replacing any fitting in the line. Verify that the tubing material and outer diameter are compatible with push-in retention collets before final assembly. Follow applicable mechanical and pneumatic codes for the jurisdiction where the work is performed.
