Midland Industries 38070 Brass Tube Adapter 3/16x1/8 Mip

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 38070 is a brass male adapter fitting designed to connect 3/16 inch OD nylon air brake tubing to 1/8 inch male iron pipe (MIP) threaded ports. Threaded at 5/16-24 on the tube side and 1/8-27 NPT on the pipe side, this fitting handles working pressures up to 150 psi across a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. It is a compact, single-piece brass fitting used in D.O.T. air brake pneumatic lines on commercial vehicles and heavy-duty equipment. Licensed technicians and fleet mechanics install this fitting when routing nylon tubing to threaded manifolds, valves, or fittings.

The 38070 is rated for use with SAE J844 Type A and Type B NT nylon tubing, placing it squarely in D.O.T. air brake pneumatic service. Typical installations include commercial truck air brake lines, trailer pneumatic systems, and industrial compressed air circuits where nylon tubing terminates at a threaded port. The fitting is suited for both original installations and service replacements where a reliable tube-to-pipe transition is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by certified air brake technicians or qualified fleet mechanics. De-pressurize the air brake system completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant appropriate for compressed air service to the NPT pipe threads before making up the connection. Verify the nylon tubing is fully seated and locked into the tube end before returning the system to service.
