Midland Industries 70A-6B 90 Degree Compression Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 70A-6B is a 90-degree compression elbow fitting designed to connect 3/8-inch tubing to a 1/4-inch female pipe thread port. Constructed from forged brass, this fitting handles pressures up to 200 psi and operates across a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F. The 9/16-24 compression thread mates with the 1/4-18 NPT female end, creating a reliable transition between a compression tube connection and a threaded fitting. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during refrigeration line, pneumatic, or fluid system work where a 90-degree direction change is required.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications. It is rated for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing. The 3/4-inch body size and compact 0.84 x 0.59-inch center-to-end dimensions make it appropriate for tight installation spaces where a straight fitting will not route correctly. It is a standard off-the-shelf compression fitting used across a wide range of fluid and gas piping configurations.

Key Features

• Forged brass construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• 90-degree angle changes tubing direction without bending the tube
• Rated to 200 psi working pressure
• Temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F
• Compatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing
• Compact body size fits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing in compression-to-female-pipe-thread applications. Features a 3/8-inch compression tube connection on one end and a 1/4-inch FPT connection on the other.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with compression fittings and applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Inspect tubing ends for burrs or deformation before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
