Midland Industries 5500126 90 Degree Elbow Steel Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 5500126 is a 90-degree steel pipe elbow adapter designed to connect hydraulic or fluid lines at a right angle. It features a 3/4-inch Male NPTF connection on one end and a 3/8-inch Male NPTF connection on the other, allowing technicians to reduce and redirect flow in a single fitting. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant, though thread sealant is commonly applied in the field. This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic systems, compressed air lines, and general fluid transfer applications where a threaded steel reducer elbow is required.

The 5500126 belongs to the Midland Industries 5500 Series of Male NPT elbows. It is intended for use in steel pipe adapter applications in hydraulic systems, including mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power circuits. Tradespeople and hydraulic technicians working on both stationary and mobile systems will encounter this type of fitting when routing lines around obstructions or transitioning between two different pipe sizes at a 90-degree angle.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration redirects flow at a right angle without additional fittings
• 3/4-inch Male NPTF inlet reduces to 3/8-inch Male NPTF outlet in one piece
• NPTF threads designed for pressure-tight, dryseal performance
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and fluid power environments
• Part of the Midland Industries 5500 Series Steel Pipe Adapters lineup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a 3/4-inch Male NPTF to 3/8-inch Male NPTF 90-degree steel elbow adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with the system manufacturer's requirements and applicable codes. Avoid over-torquing steel fittings, and inspect threads for damage before installation.
