Midland Industries 57060808C Male Branch 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 57060808C is a male branch universal 90-degree elbow fitting designed for push-to-connect plumbing and pneumatic systems. It provides a three-port connection in a compact elbow geometry, combining a 3/8-inch push-to-connect port, a 1/2-inch push-to-connect port, and a 1/2-inch male NPT port in a single body. The composite body construction meets D.O.T. standards and offers reliable performance in compressed air and fluid transfer lines. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working with push-to-connect distribution systems.

The 57060808C is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a branch takeoff and directional change are needed in the same fitting. Typical installations include compressed air supply lines, water distribution, and pneumatic control circuits. The push-to-connect ends allow tool-free tube insertion and secure grip without ferrules or thread sealing on those ports. The male NPT end connects to threaded ports on manifolds, valves, or equipment. Its compact footprint at 2.15 inches in length and 1.95 inches in height makes it practical in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Three-port male branch configuration with a 90-degree elbow geometry for directional and branch flow in one fitting
• 3/8-inch push-to-connect port for quick, tool-free tube connection
• 1/2-inch push-to-connect port for tool-free branch connection
• 1/2-inch male NPT port for threaded equipment or manifold connection
• D.O.T.-rated composite body construction for durability in pressurized air and fluid service
• Compact dimensions allow installation in confined mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T. composite body push-to-connect fitting for use in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid distribution systems requiring a male branch 90-degree elbow with mixed push-to-connect and NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or mechanical technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted fully into each push-to-connect port to engage the internal collet and seal. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT end per standard practice and applicable plumbing codes before making the threaded connection.
