Midland Industries 700064-02 Brass Compression Tee 1/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700064-02 is a lead-free brass compression tee fitting designed for joining or branching small-diameter tubing lines in plumbing and instrumentation applications. All three ports accept 1/8-inch compression connections, making this a symmetrical tee suitable for splitting or combining flow in a single plane. The fitting is manufactured from lead-free brass and carries a 5/16-24 thread specification. Its operating temperature range spans -40 to 250 degrees F, covering most residential and light commercial service environments. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting where a reliable, tool-assisted compression seal is required without soldering.

This fitting is suited for use in residential plumbing, HVAC control tubing, refrigeration sensing lines, and light industrial fluid systems where small-diameter branch connections are needed. It is compatible with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing at 1/8-inch OD. The compact profile, measuring 1.65 inches in length and 0.95 inches in width, allows installation in confined spaces such as equipment cabinets and instrument panels. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water system use where applicable.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the line before making or breaking any compression connection. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate open-end wrench to bring the fitting to a firm seat without over-torquing, which can crack the ferrule or fitting body. Verify tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before insertion to ensure a leak-free seal.
