Midland Industries 700062-12 Compression Union 3/4 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700062-12 is a straight compression union fitting designed to join two runs of tubing with a secure, leak-resistant connection. Manufactured from lead-free brass, this union accepts 3/4-inch compression fittings on both ends and features a 1-18 thread specification. It is used in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing systems where a removable, tool-accessible union connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work where future serviceability at that joint is required.

This compression union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It connects copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing without soldering or special adhesives, making it appropriate for installations where open flame is restricted or where speed of assembly is a priority. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for use in potable water systems. It is commonly found in supply lines, fixture connections, and equipment hookups where a union break point is desirable.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water requirements
• 3/4-inch compression on both ends for symmetrical straight-run unions
• 1-18 thread specification for consistent seating and sealing
• Compatible with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing - no soldering required

• Removable union design allows future disassembly without cutting the line

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing in compression-style plumbing assemblies. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-install compression union in residential and light commercial potable water and plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing this fitting. Compression ferrules should be seated squarely on the tubing before tightening the compression nut - do not overtighten, as this can distort the ferrule and cause leaks. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
