Midland Industries 26015 Brass Captive Sleeve Nut 3/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 26015 is a brass captive sleeve nut designed for 3/4 inch compression connections in plumbing and fluid-system applications. The captive design retains the compression sleeve during assembly, reducing the chance of losing components during installation. Rated for a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this nut suits both cold and moderately high-temperature service. The 1-18 thread size provides a secure, leak-resistant connection when properly torqued onto compatible compression fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters handling copper or brass compression assemblies will find this a reliable OEM-style replacement or new-install component.

This captive sleeve nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where 3/4 inch compression fittings are standard. Typical applications include water supply lines, fuel gas lines within rated temperature limits, and general fluid distribution systems. The brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water service, natural gas, and other compatible media. It is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body to seat the sleeve, then use an appropriately sized open-end wrench to finish - do not over-tighten, as brass threads can strip or the compression sleeve can deform. Verify compliance with local plumbing codes, which may reference IPC or IFGC requirements for compression fittings used in gas or water service.
