Midland Industries 23512X8 Brass Reducing Pipe Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 23512X8 is a 90-degree SAE pattern reducing pipe elbow machined from brass. It connects 3/4-inch female NPTF on one end to 1/2-inch female NPTF on the other, allowing a direction change and a pipe size reduction in a single fitting. Thread specifications are 3/4-14 on the larger port and 1/2-14 on the smaller port. Rated for 1000 to 1200 psi working pressure and a service temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting is suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-handling lines where a compact elbow is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This elbow is designed for use in systems carrying fluids through brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, or iron pipe. The SAE pattern body provides a compact footprint where space is limited. Typical applications include instrument lines, compressed air distribution, hydraulic circuits, and plumbing manifolds where a 90-degree turn and a reduction from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch pipe are needed in a single connection point.

• Reducing configuration: 3/4 in female NPTF x 1/2 in female NPTF in a single fitting
• Rated 1000 to 1200 psi working pressure
• Service temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F
• Compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe systems
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid-handling service

Compatibility

Rated for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch female NPTF reducing connections at a 90-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the system type. De-pressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service fluid to the male threads being engaged. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is subject to thread damage under excessive torque.
