Midland Industries 28729F 45-deg Elbow Male Jic X Mip Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28729F is a 45-degree forged brass elbow fitting designed for hydraulic tubing connections. It transitions from a 9/16-18 Male JIC 37-degree flare on one end to a 1/8-27 Male Iron Pipe (MIP) thread on the other, serving 3/8-inch tube lines. Rated to 3128 psi, this fitting handles demanding hydraulic system pressures in both mobile and stationary equipment. The forged brass construction delivers greater density and strength than cast alternatives. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid power installers use this fitting to route hydraulic lines through directional changes without sacrificing pressure integrity.

The 28729F is suited for hydraulic systems using copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing that can be flared to a 37-degree JIC seat. The 45-degree angle helps manage tight routing in equipment cabinets, valve banks, and manifold assemblies. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial hydraulic and fluid power applications where a JIC flare-to-pipe-thread transition is needed at a 45-degree offset.

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing that can be flared to a 37-degree JIC seat. Fits 3/8-inch tube lines requiring a 9/16-18 JIC flare to 1/8-27 MIP threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with JIC flare fittings and tapered pipe threads. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disassembling any fittings or lines. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MIP threads only - do not apply sealant to the JIC flare seating surface, as the metal-to-metal flare contact provides the seal. Verify flare quality and seat condition before final assembly to prevent leaks under pressure.
