Midland Industries 24008 Long Hex Nut 3/4 in Compression Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 24008 is a long hex nut designed for 3/4-inch compression connections in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Machined from brass, this nut provides a secure, leak-resistant joint by clamping a ferrule against tubing as the nut is tightened onto a compression body. It measures 1-1/2 inches in length with a 1-1/4-inch hex drive, making it compatible with standard wrenches. Rated to 100 psi and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles the demands of typical residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

The 24008 is suited for use in water supply, refrigeration, gas, and pneumatic lines where a compression-style connection is specified. Its longer body length provides additional thread engagement compared to standard hex nuts, which is useful in applications where tubing alignment or access space requires extra grip length. This nut is rated for use with brass, copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing, making it a versatile choice across multiple piping materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Hand-tighten the nut onto the compression body first, then snug with a wrench - avoid over-tightening, which can deform the ferrule or crack thermoplastic tubing. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the system type being serviced.
