Midland Industries 21099 90 Deg Mini Barb Union Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 21099 is a 90-degree single mini barb union elbow designed for low-pressure fluid handling systems using flexible polythene tubing. Both ends accept 1/2-inch mini barb connections, allowing the fitting to join two tubing runs at a right angle without threaded fittings or adhesives. Built from brass for corrosion resistance and durability, this elbow is rated to 150 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 90 degrees F. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and fluid-system installers use this type of fitting where a compact directional change is needed in a tubing run.

This fitting is intended for use with 3/8-inch inner diameter polythene tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer applications. The 90-degree angle makes it well suited for tight routing around corners or obstructions where straight fittings cannot be used. Its compact profile keeps the connection point small, which is an advantage in confined spaces such as equipment cabinets or manifold assemblies.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in tubing runs
• 1/2-inch mini barb on both ends for consistent, tool-free assembly
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a wide range of fluid media
• Rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 90 degrees F
• Compatible with 3/8-inch ID polythene tubing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch inner diameter polythene tubing where 1/2-inch mini barb connections are required.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools - push the barbed ends firmly into the tubing until the tubing seats fully against the fitting shoulder, then secure with an appropriate clamp if required by the application or local code. Shut off and depressurize the system before making or breaking any connections. Verify that the tubing inner diameter matches the fitting specification before assembly, as an improper fit can cause leaks under pressure. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for the fluid type and pressure rating of the system.
