Both ports accept 1\/4-inch female NPTF connections with a 1\/4-18 thread specification, conforming to SAE dimension standard 140138. The coupling handles a maximum operating pressure of 4000 psi and is rated for temperatures up to 375 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuits where leak-free thread engagement is critical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians install this fitting in applications requiring a straight union between two female-threaded lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in hydraulic plumbing assemblies, fluid power systems, and high-pressure steel pipe installations. Its all-steel construction withstands the mechanical and thermal stress common in industrial and mobile hydraulic environments. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection that minimizes reliance on thread sealant, which is an advantage in systems where contamination control matters. Typical installations occur in industrial machinery, hydraulic power units, and fluid transfer lines where a compact, straight coupling is needed between two fixed female ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4000 psi maximum operating pressure rated for high-pressure hydraulic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 1\/4-inch female NPTF ports with 1\/4-18 thread form for dry-seal engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 375 degrees F for use in elevated-temperature fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in hydraulic and fluid power applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to SAE dimension standard 140138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 1 inch length for tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for steel hydraulic pipe assemblies using 1\/4-inch female NPTF threaded connections conforming to SAE 140138 dimension standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified hydraulic technician. De-pressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal connections, but consult system specifications before applying thread sealant. Verify that operating pressure and temperature in the target system do not exceed the rated limits of this fitting before placing the system back in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch Female NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch Female NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 375 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 140138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950590558514,"sku":"50004","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff240d3a76bb907d689a8c1cb01779fd_c580102c-1cfa-48da-b83f-fce0b0f52cd7.jpg?v=1791722639","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-50004-steel-pipe-coupling-1-4-in-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
