Midland Industries 44122 90 Deg Reducing Elbow Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44122 is a 90-degree reducing elbow fitting designed for low-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. It transitions from a 3/8-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 1/4-inch FPT outlet, allowing a direction change and a size reduction in a single fitting. Cast from bronze, the 44122 offers corrosion resistance suited for water, oil, and compatible gas service lines. It carries a 125 lb pressure class rating. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting during system assembly, retrofits, or repairs where a combined turn and reducer is needed in a compact run.

The 44122 is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where space is limited and a combined directional change and pipe reduction is required at a single connection point. Typical installations include potable water lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic circuits, and fuel oil or gas supply lines that accept bronze fittings. Its compact body dimensions of approximately 1.2 inches in length and 0.95 inches in height make it practical in tight mechanical spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads mating with this fitting. Do not overtighten bronze fittings, as excessive torque can crack the casting.
