Midland Industries 700668-0808 Compression Male Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700668-0808 is a lead-free brass compression male adapter designed to connect 1/2-inch compression tubing to a 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded fitting. The body is chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and a finished appearance. This fitting is used in water supply and distribution lines where a compression-to-NPT transition is needed. It is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced pipefitters. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water systems. The fitting is rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F.

This adapter is compatible with aluminum, copper, or plastic tubing on the compression side and connects to standard 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded ports. Common installation scenarios include water supply risers, fixture shutoff valve connections, and inline transitions between compression and threaded piping systems in residential construction or renovation work. The chrome-plated finish also makes it appropriate for exposed installations where appearance matters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench - do not overtighten, as this can deform the compression sleeve and cause leaks. Inspect tubing ends for burrs or deformation before seating in the compression fitting.
