Midland Industries 700065-02 Compression Elbow 1/8 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700065-02 is a 90-degree compression union elbow fitting designed for connecting same-size tubing runs where a right-angle turn is required. Constructed from lead-free brass with a 5/16-24 thread, this fitting accepts 1/8 inch compression connections on both ends and is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The compact profile measures 0.95 inches in length and 0.35 inches in height. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC control lines, and instrumentation tubing applications where a reliable, code-compliant brass compression joint is needed.

This fitting is used in systems that route copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing through tight spaces or around obstacles. Its 90-degree angle simplifies routing without requiring a tubing bender or additional straight couplings. Plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of fitting in refrigerant gauge lines, pneumatic control tubing, fuel gas pilot lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure service lines where compression-style connections are specified.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for right-angle tubing transitions
• Lead-free brass construction meets current potable water and plumbing code requirements
• 1/8 inch compression connection on both ends for same-size tubing union
• Compatible with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 5/16-24 thread form for consistent, leak-resistant compression joints

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing at 1/8 inch outside diameter. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression elbow in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications requiring lead-free brass fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the tubing before disassembly or fitting installation. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excessive force can crack the ferrule or distort plastic tubing. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating in the fitting body.
