Midland Industries 700065-08 1/2 in Compression Elbow Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700065-08 is a 90-degree union elbow fitting designed for use in compression-style plumbing connections. Built from lead-free brass, it connects 1/2-inch compression fittings on both ends, making it suitable for redirecting tubing runs at a right angle without soldering or flaring. The fitting carries a temperature rating of -40 to 250 degrees F and uses an 11/16-20 thread specification. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers use this fitting in potable water, HVAC condensate, and light fluid-handling applications where a reliable, tool-assisted compression connection is preferred over a sweat joint.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing must change direction at a 90-degree angle. Common scenarios include supply line rerouting under sinks, ice maker lines, and similar close-quarters plumbing situations. Its compact footprint - 1.8 inches in length, 1.6 inches in width, and 0.8 inches in height - makes it practical in tight spaces typical of under-cabinet or wall-cavity work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 90-degree turn in a single fitting reduces the need for additional unions or adapters
• Compression connections on both ends - no soldering, brazing, or special tools required
• Compatible with copper, aluminum, and plastic tubing
• Rated for a wide temperature range: -40 to 250 degrees F
• 11/16-20 thread specification for consistent, repeatable compression engagement

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing in compression-style plumbing systems. Both connection ports accept 1/2-inch compression fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating in the compression sleeve to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can damage the ferrule and deform plastic tubing.
