Midland Industries 27221 90 Degree Compression Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 27221 is a 90-degree brass compression elbow assembly with an integrated 27002 self-aligning sleeve. It connects a 3/16-inch compression fitting on one end to a 1/8-inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread on the other. The self-align sleeve allows minor angular adjustment during assembly, reducing stress on tubing connections in tight or off-angle installations. Weighing just 0.04 pounds, this compact fitting is built from brass for corrosion resistance and durability. Plumbers and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid and pneumatic line work where a 90-degree directional change is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where small-diameter tubing must transition to a threaded pipe port at a right angle. Typical installation scenarios include instrumentation lines, fuel supply connections, and pneumatic control tubing. The compression end accepts 3/16-inch OD tubing, and the MIP end threads directly into a 1/8-inch NPT female port. The self-align feature makes this a practical choice in assemblies where perfect angular alignment is difficult to achieve.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for right-angle directional changes in tubing runs
• Integrated 27002 self-align sleeve accommodates minor angular misalignment during installation
• 3/16-inch compression inlet accepts standard OD tubing without soldering or flaring
• 1/8-inch MIP outlet threads into standard NPT female ports
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for fluid and pneumatic service
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, compact form for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for small-diameter compression tubing assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch compression to 1/8-inch MIP 90-degree transition.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified instrumentation technician. Shut off all line pressure and depressurize the system before disassembling or installing compression fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice - do not overtighten, as brass threads and ferrules can deform. Verify thread compatibility with the receiving port before applying thread sealant to the MIP end.
