Midland Industries 44125LF 90 Deg Reducing Elbow Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44125LF is a 90-degree reducing elbow designed for threaded pipe systems requiring a direction change and a reduction in line size. This fitting connects a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 1/4-inch FPT outlet, making it suitable for applications where flow must be redirected and reduced in a single fitting. Constructed from lead-free bronze, it meets drinking water safety requirements and holds up to the corrosion and pressure demands common in plumbing and water service installations. The center-to-end dimension measures 1.08 x 1.11 inches, and the fitting weighs 0.340 pounds.

This fitting is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, water distribution lines, and general-purpose fluid handling where a 90-degree change in direction and a pipe size reduction are needed in one assembly. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers on water supply lines, fixture connections, and equipment hookups. The 3/4-14 thread specification ensures proper engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings.

Key Features

• Lead-free bronze construction meets potable water application requirements
• 90-degree reducing configuration combines direction change and size reduction in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded plumbing systems requiring a 90-degree reducing connection at 3/4 in FPT x 1/4 in FPT.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before completing with a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten bronze fittings, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.
