Midland Industries 283PPC-2.5 Bulkhead Union 5/32 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 283PPC-2.5 is a push-to-connect bulkhead union fitting designed to create a secure, leak-free connection through a panel or bulkhead wall. Built with a composite body, it accepts 5/32-inch push-to-connect tubing on both sides for a straight-through, equal-size connection. Rated to 150 psi and suitable for operating temperatures from 32 to 140 degrees F, this fitting is well suited for pneumatic control lines and instrument tubing routed through enclosures, equipment panels, or machine frames. HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and instrumentation installers commonly use bulkhead unions of this type when penetrating cabinetry or control panels with small-bore tubing runs.

This fitting is applied in light commercial and residential control systems where 5/32-inch tubing must pass cleanly through a panel. Typical scenarios include pneumatic control wiring in HVAC equipment cabinets, compressed-air signal lines in automated equipment, and instrument tubing routed through machine housings. The push-to-connect design on both ends eliminates the need for ferrules, compression sleeves, or thread sealants at the connection points, speeding up installation and simplifying future servicing of the tubing run.

Key Features

• 5/32-inch push-to-connect on both sides for equal straight-through flow
• Composite body construction suitable for pneumatic and instrument tubing applications
• 150 psi pressure rating for light pneumatic service
• Operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees F
• Bulkhead-mount design routes tubing cleanly through panels or enclosure walls
• Tool-free tubing insertion; tubing releases with a simple collet push-in action

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install bulkhead fitting for systems using 5/32-inch outside-diameter push-to-connect tubing in pneumatic or instrumentation service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by instrumentation technicians or HVAC mechanics. De-energize and depressurize any connected pneumatic or fluid system before installing or servicing this fitting. Ensure the panel opening is sized to the fitting body and that the locknut is tightened to secure the fitting firmly against the panel without cracking the composite body. Confirm tubing is cut squarely and fully seated in the collet before returning the system to service.
