Midland Industries 700070-0202 Compression Elbow 1/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700070-0202 is a 90-degree compression elbow fitting manufactured from lead-free brass. It connects 1/8-inch compression tubing to a 1/8-inch female National Pipe Thread (FNPTF) port, making a direction change in a fluid or gas line while transitioning between connection types. The fitting is rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F and uses a 5/16-24 x 1/8-27 thread specification. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting when routing copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing through tight spaces that require a 90-degree turn into a threaded female port. Its compact dimensions and lead-free construction make it suitable for potable water and other regulated applications.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and pneumatic systems where a compression-to-female-NPT transition at a 90-degree angle is required. Typical install scenarios include instrument lines, water supply connections, and control tubing runs. The fitting accommodates copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing and is suited for systems that require lead-free materials per applicable plumbing codes.

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing in compression-to-FNPTF applications. Compatible with 1/8-inch compression tubing connections and 1/8-27 female NPT ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or system pressure and relieve any residual pressure before removing or installing fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then tighten with a wrench - do not overtighten, as this can crack the ferrule or damage plastic tubing. Verify all connections for leaks after returning the system to service.
