Midland Industries 700969-0606 Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700969-0606 is a lead-free compression male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in compression-style tubing runs. Built for potable water and plumbing applications where lead-free compliance is required, this fitting connects two 3/8 inch compression lines using a standard compression sleeve and nut arrangement. At 0.015 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suitable for tight spaces. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial water supply lines, appliance connections, and fixture supply runs.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a directional change is needed in a 3/8 inch compression tubing line. Typical applications include under-sink supply connections, refrigerator ice maker lines, and similar low-pressure water supply configurations. Its lead-free construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water systems where local codes mandate lead-free materials, including installations governed by state and local plumbing codes aligned with NSF 61 and NSF 372 requirements.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople working on potable water supply lines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. Use the appropriate compression sleeve and nut for the tubing material being connected, and hand-tighten before making a final snug turn with a wrench - do not overtighten, as this can damage the compression seat. Installation should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for compression fittings.
