Midland Industries 250412 45-deg Union Elbow 3/4 Male Jic

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 250412 is a 45-degree union elbow fitting designed for hydraulic plumbing applications requiring a directional change in a fluid line without the use of a separate union body. Constructed from steel, this fitting connects 3/4-inch Male JIC to 3/4-inch Male JIC on both ends, with a thread size of 1-1/16-12 on each port. The center-to-end dimension measures 1.28 inches on each side. It is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics working on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units where a 45-degree offset union connection is required.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems that require a union-style 45-degree elbow between two male JIC-threaded components. Typical installations include mobile hydraulic circuits on construction and agricultural equipment, as well as stationary industrial hydraulic power units. The symmetrical JIC connection on both ends allows the fitting to serve as a union adapter, joining two male-terminated hoses or tubes at a 45-degree angle to manage routing and reduce stress on adjacent components.

Key Features

• 45-degree union elbow geometry for directional routing changes in hydraulic lines
• 3/4-inch Male JIC connections on both ends for symmetrical installation
• 1-1/16-12 thread size on each port for secure JIC engagement
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic pressure service
• Center-to-end dimension of 1.28 inches on each side for compact fitment
• Part of the 2504 Series MJIC Union 45-Degree Elbow product family

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation union elbow for hydraulic systems using 3/4-inch Male JIC fittings with 1-1/16-12 thread specifications, consistent with SAE J514 JIC 37-degree flare standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect JIC seats and threads for damage before assembly, and use appropriate wrenches sized for the fitting hex to avoid rounding. Do not overtighten JIC fittings, as proper seating depends on the 37-degree flare contact, not thread compression alone.
