Midland Industries 34016 Standard Pol Hex Nut Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 34016 is a brass standard hex nut with a POL (Prest-O-Lite) connection type, designed for use in LP gas systems where a reliable left-hand threaded fitting is required. Machined from brass, it features a 0.880-14 LH thread specification, ensuring a secure, leak-resistant joint at regulator and cylinder connections. Weighing approximately 0.095 pounds and measuring 0.9 inches in length and width with a 0.85-inch height, this compact fitting is a staple component for licensed gas technicians and plumbers working on propane distribution lines and appliance connections.

This POL hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial LP gas applications, including propane cylinder connections, regulator fittings, and related gas supply assemblies. It is commonly installed during regulator replacement, cylinder manifold service, or new LP system rough-in work. The left-hand thread configuration is standard for propane service and helps prevent accidental loosening in typical operating conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas technician in accordance with IFGC and applicable local codes. Shut off the LP gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Use an appropriately sized open-end or adjustable wrench on the hex profile; do not use pipe wrenches that may deform the nut. Confirm thread engagement and inspect all joints for leaks with an approved leak detection solution before returning the system to service.
