Midland Industries 700069-1012 90 Degree Compression Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700069-1012 is a 90-degree compression elbow fitting made from lead-free brass. It connects a 5/8-inch compression end to a 3/4-inch male NPT (MNPTF) threaded end, providing a right-angle transition in pressurized tubing systems. The fitting carries a thread specification of 13/16-18 on the compression side and 3/4-14 on the NPT side. Rated for temperatures from -40 to 250 degrees F, it suits a wide range of plumbing and mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and service work on water supply and distribution lines.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a direction change is needed between a compression-connected tube and a male-threaded port. It is compatible with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing on the compression side and threads into any standard 3/4-inch female NPT port. Typical install scenarios include water supply connections, refrigeration line sets, and pneumatic or hydraulic tubing runs where a 90-degree turn and a threaded transition are required at the same junction.

• Thread specification 13/16-18 x 3/4-14 for dimensional interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing on the compression end. Threads into any standard 3/4-inch female NPT port. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use a wrench to snug it without over-torquing, as brass compression fittings can crack if over-driven. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly per standard practice.
