Midland Industries 269X5X4 Brass Compression Elbow 5/16x1/4

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 269X5X4 is a 90-degree barstock elbow fitting machined from brass, designed to connect compression tubing to a male pipe thread port. It accepts a 5/16-inch compression connection on one end and a 1/4-inch MPT connection on the other, making it a practical transition fitting for tight-angle routing in fluid and gas systems. Rated to 300 psi and suitable for service from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding environments where a reliable, leak-free connection is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics commonly install this type of fitting during system assembly or repair.

This elbow is intended for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications. The 90-degree angle allows for directional changes in tubing runs where space is limited or where tubing must transition from a straight run to a threaded port on a valve, manifold, or equipment fitting. Its compact barstock body keeps the installation footprint small in confined equipment compartments or panel enclosures.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for compact directional tubing routing
• 5/16-inch compression inlet by 1/4-inch MPT outlet configuration
• Rated to 300 psi working pressure
• Temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing
• Brass barstock construction for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in compression fitting applications requiring a male pipe thread outlet. Suitable as an OEM-style or aftermarket fitting in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration tubing systems where a 5/16-inch compression by 1/4-inch MPT 90-degree elbow is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code where required. Shut off system pressure and relieve any residual pressure before removing or installing fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench - do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Inspect the tubing end for burrs or deformation before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
