Midland Industries 27064 Brass Self-align Union 1/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 27064 is a brass self-align union fitting designed for compression-style tube connections in fluid and gas distribution systems. It joins two 1/4-inch lines with a self-aligning sleeve that compensates for minor misalignment during assembly, reducing stress on tubing and improving seal reliability. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for a range of media. Weighing approximately 0.055 pounds, this compact fitting measures 1.35 inches in height and 0.45 inches in both length and width. It is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics working on light-duty tubing runs.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1/4-inch compression connections are required. Common install scenarios include control tubing, instrument lines, refrigeration sensing lines, and similar small-bore plumbing or HVAC service work. The self-aligning sleeve design is particularly useful in tight spaces where precise tube alignment is difficult to maintain by hand during makeup.

Key Features

• Self-aligning sleeve accommodates minor tube misalignment at assembly
• All-brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 1/4-inch x 1/4-inch compression connections on both ends
• Compact form factor: 1.35 inches height, 0.45 inches width and length
• Low minimum order quantity for single-unit service replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression-type tube union applications in 1/4-inch line sizes across residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or makeup. Hand-tighten the compression nuts first, then snug with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice - avoid overtightening, which can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Verify local code requirements under the IPC or IFGC for applicable service applications.
