Midland Industries 53725-1008 Reducing Tee Nylon

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 53725-1008 is a three-way reducing tee fitting designed for hose barb connections in fluid transfer and distribution lines. Constructed from nylon, this fitting accepts two 5/8-inch hose barbed connections on the run ports and one 1/2-inch hose barbed connection on the branch port, allowing a controlled transition between line sizes within the same assembly. The all-barbed design creates a secure, grip-style connection with compatible flexible tubing, relying on hose clamps or interference fit to maintain a seal. It is a stock replacement or new-installation component used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and irrigation or fluid-handling professionals.

This reducing tee is suited for low-pressure fluid distribution systems where a main flow line must split and reduce to a smaller branch line. Typical applications include coolant loops, irrigation manifolds, water transfer lines, and HVAC condensate or auxiliary fluid circuits. The nylon construction makes it appropriate for use in applications where metal fittings are not required and lightweight, corrosion-resistant plastic is preferred.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation reducing tee for flexible hose barb assemblies requiring a 5/8-inch by 5/8-inch by 1/2-inch transition in plastic hose barb plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on fluid transfer assemblies. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure flexible tubing is pushed firmly past the barb ridges on each port and secured with an appropriately sized hose clamp to maintain seal integrity. Do not exceed the pressure or temperature ratings of the tubing or fitting material for the intended application.
