Midland Industries 23304X2 Reducing Pipe Coupling Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 23304X2 is a brass SAE pattern reducing pipe coupling designed to connect two female NPTF ports of different sizes in a single inline fitting. The larger port accepts a 1/4-18 NPTF female thread and the smaller port accepts a 1/8-27 NPTF female thread, allowing a straight reduction without additional adapters. Overall length is 0.97 inches and wrench flat measures 3/4 inches hex. Rated to 1200 psi working pressure and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this coupling suits high-pressure hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer service. Installation requires only standard open-end or hex wrenches.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems wherever a 1/4 in to 1/8 in female-to-female NPTF pipe size reduction is needed. The SAE pattern design makes it a common choice in fluid-power circuits, compressed-air manifolds, fuel systems, and instrumentation lines. It is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe assemblies, giving it broad application across multiple trade disciplines.

Key Features

• Reduces 1/4 in Female NPTF to 1/8 in Female NPTF in a single fitting
• 1200 psi rated working pressure for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic service
• Operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F
• 3/4 in hex wrench flat for positive torque with standard hand tools
• Compact 0.97 inch body length minimizes installation envelope
• SAE pattern construction compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe

Compatibility

Rated for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe. Designed as an OEM-style SAE pattern reducing pipe coupling for hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid-transfer systems requiring a 1/4 in Female NPTF to 1/8 in Female NPTF inline reduction.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the fluid media and pressure involved. Do not overtighten; engage threads carefully to avoid cross-threading the NPTF seats.
