Midland Industries 700093-0604 Compression Female Flare Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700093-0604 is a lead-free compression-to-female-flare adapter used to transition between a 3/8 inch compression connection and a 1/4 inch female flared connection in plumbing and refrigeration piping systems. Weighing just 0.06 pounds and measuring approximately 1.15 inches in length, this compact fitting is suited for tight spaces and precision plumbing work. Its lead-free construction meets current potable water and environmental compliance standards, making it appropriate for licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working on water supply, refrigerant, or gas-distribution lines that require a reliable mechanical seal at both connection points.

This adapter is designed for installations where a compression-terminated line must connect to a female flare fitting, a configuration common in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration line sets, and gas appliance connections. The 3/8 inch compression end accepts standard compression tubing, while the 1/4 inch female flare end mates with a standard male flare fitting. Plumbers and HVAC service technicians typically reach for this fitting when converting or repairing mixed-connection piping runs without cutting into existing flare or compression terminations.

Key Features

• Transitions a 3/8 inch compression connection to a 1/4 inch female flared connection in a single compact fitting
• Lead-free construction suitable for potable water and environmentally regulated applications
• Compact form factor at 1.15 inches long and 0.06 pounds for installation in confined spaces
• Compression end provides a secure mechanical seal without soldering or special tools beyond a wrench
• Female flare end is compatible with standard male flare fittings per SAE flare specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for lead-free compression and female flare piping systems. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided; verify connection sizes and flare standards against the existing piping before installation.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before working on any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench - do not over-torque, as compression fittings can crack or deform tubing. Verify the female flare end is free of nicks or burrs before mating to ensure a leak-free seal; use a flare gauge if available.
