Midland Industries 28304SS Bulkhead Adapter 1/2 in Nptf Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28304SS is a 316L stainless steel bulkhead adapter designed to create a secure, pressure-rated fluid passage through a panel, tank wall, or enclosure. It features identical 1/2-inch Female NPTF connections on both ends with a 1/2-14 thread form, providing a dry-seal thread engagement that minimizes the need for additional sealant under pressure. Rated to 1450 psi maximum operating pressure and functional across a temperature range of -20 to 360 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in industrial, plumbing, and process piping environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This bulkhead adapter is suited for applications where a fluid line must penetrate a tank wall, bulkhead, or panel and maintain a leak-free connection on both sides. The 316L stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion in wet, chemical, or marine environments, making it appropriate for use in treated water systems, chemical transfer, compressed air, and similar service conditions. The symmetric Female NPTF x Female NPTF configuration simplifies installation where threaded male-end tubing or nipples are used on both sides of the bulkhead.

Key Features

• 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet service environments
• 1/2-inch Female NPTF x 1/2-inch Female NPTF dry-seal thread on both ends
• 1/2-14 thread form for standard tapered pipe thread engagement
• 1450 psi maximum operating pressure rating
• Operating temperature range of -20 to 360 degrees F
• 1.417-inch hex for secure wrench grip during installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install bulkhead fitting for 1/2-inch NPTF threaded piping systems requiring panel or tank wall penetration in 316L stainless steel service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any bulkhead fitting. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the 1.417-inch hex to avoid distorting the fitting body. NPTF threads are designed to seal on thread engagement, but inspect threads and seating surfaces for damage before assembly.
