Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28192 is a brass extender adapter designed to extend or reposition a 1/4-inch NPTF threaded connection within a piping system. It features a 1/4-inch female NPTF inlet and a 1/4-inch male NPTF outlet, with a 1/4-18 thread specification and an overall length of 1-1/4 inches. Rated to 1200 psi, this fitting handles demanding pressure requirements common in industrial and mechanical piping applications. The 3/4-inch hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting when repositioning or extending a threaded port is required.

This extender adapter is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where brass fittings are specified. It is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe. The operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F makes it appropriate for a wide variety of fluid handling, compressed air, and low-pressure gas applications where NPTF threaded connections are standard.
