Midland Industries 700669-0808 Compression Elbow 1/2in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700669-0808 is a lead-free brass compression elbow designed to connect 1/2-inch compression tubing to a 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded port. The chrome-plated finish provides a clean, corrosion-resistant exterior suited for exposed plumbing installations. With an 11/16-20 thread specification and a rated temperature range of -40 to 250 degrees F, this elbow handles the thermal demands of typical residential and light commercial water supply systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced trades professionals working on potable water lines, supply risers, and fixture connections where a direction change is needed at a threaded fitting interface.

This elbow is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 90-degree change of direction is required between a compression tube run and a male NPTF-threaded fitting or valve body. The chrome-plated exterior makes it suitable for under-sink, lavatory, and other visible supply line applications where appearance matters alongside function. Its lead-free brass construction meets requirements for use on potable water systems under current plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local equivalent. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any existing fittings. Compression fittings require proper ferrule seating and correct nut torque - do not over-tighten, as this can deform the ferrule and cause a leak. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPTF threads per standard practice before making up the threaded connection.
