Midland Industries 700073-060604 Brass Swivel Tee

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700073-060604 is a lead-free brass swivel tee fitting designed for use in compression tubing systems. It provides a three-way branch connection with a 3/8-inch compression inlet, a 3/8-inch male compression outlet, and a 1/4-inch female compression branch port. The swivel design allows for easier alignment during installation, reducing torque on connected tubing. Thread specifications are 9/16-24 and 7/16-24. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water and plumbing code requirements. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and refrigeration technicians working on low-pressure fluid or gas distribution lines.

This swivel tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC applications where a reliable branch connection is needed. It is compatible with aluminum, copper, or plastic tubing, making it a versatile choice across multiple system types. Typical install scenarios include ice maker supply lines, water filtration branch connections, and refrigerant distribution headers where alignment flexibility is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC-R technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the system before making or breaking any compression connections. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can damage tubing or fitting seats. Verify tubing is cut cleanly and seated fully before final tightening.
