Midland Industries 262RX14X10 Reducing Union Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 262RX14X10 is a brass reducing union fitting that joins two different-diameter compression lines in a single inline connection. One end accepts 7/8 inch compression tubing and the other accepts 5/8 inch compression tubing, making it the right choice when a line transition is required without stepping down through multiple fittings. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 75 psi and is rated for service from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The 1.18 inch hex allows standard wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics reach for this fitting when a single compact union is needed to connect two different tube sizes.

This reducing union is suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing must be joined at a size transition. Common install scenarios include refrigeration line sets, fuel gas distribution using approved flexible tubing, and general fluid-handling runs where space is limited and a low-profile union is preferred. The 1.23 inch center-to-center dimension keeps the fitting compact in tight routing situations. It belongs to the MAF/USA Brass Fittings compression product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic following applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or IFGC as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or makeup. Compression fittings do not require thread sealant at the ferrule joint; do not over-tighten, as excess force can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Verify tube ends are cleanly cut, deburred, and fully seated before torquing the nut.
