Midland Industries 541008SC Dot 45-deg Male Elbow Ptc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 541008SC is a D.O.T.-compliant composite body 45-degree male elbow fitting designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid line applications. It connects a 5/8-inch push-to-connect port to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port, with a positional swivel feature that allows the fitting to be rotated after installation for line routing flexibility. Rated to 145 psi and approved for use across a temperature range of -40 to 140 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service environments where reliable tube-to-thread transitions are required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting in compressed air, brake, and fluid transfer lines.

This fitting is intended for use in D.O.T.-regulated push-to-connect tubing systems, including compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer installations in commercial and industrial settings. The 45-degree elbow geometry helps route tubing away from obstructions or along panel and chassis edges without requiring a sharp bend in the tubing itself. The composite body construction offers corrosion resistance in environments where brass-only fittings may be less suitable. The 1/2-14 NPT thread mates with standard female NPT ports on valves, manifolds, and equipment housings.

Key Features

• D.O.T.-compliant composite body construction for regulated pneumatic and fluid line service
• 5/8-inch push-to-connect port accepts tubing without additional tools for quick, secure connections
• 1/2-inch male NPT thread at 1/2-14 for standard port compatibility
• Positional swivel allows post-installation rotation to align tubing runs
• Rated to 145 psi working pressure
• Temperature range of -40 to 140 degrees F for use in cold and moderately heated environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for D.O.T. push-to-connect composite body pneumatic and fluid systems using 5/8-inch OD tubing and 1/2-inch NPT ported components.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic system mechanics. Before installation, depressurize the system completely and verify the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs that could compromise the push-to-connect seal. Hand-tighten the NPT thread into the receiving port, then wrench-tighten using standard pipe-fitting practice, observing applicable IPC or local code requirements. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 145 psi.
