Midland Industries 720404A Brass Branch Tee 1/4in Push-in Mnptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 720404A is a DOT-rated brass branch tee fitting designed for push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid tubing systems. It provides a three-way split from a single inline run, with two 1/4 inch push-in tube ports and one 1/4 inch male NPT port for threaded connections. Rated to 150 psi and capable of handling temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service conditions in compressed air, fuel gas, and fluid transfer lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting where a branch takeoff is needed without cutting into threaded iron pipe.

This branch tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations involving push-to-connect tubing distribution. Common applications include compressed air distribution manifolds, pneumatic control lines, and fluid transfer systems that require a quick, tool-free tube connection combined with a threaded port for instrument or valve tie-in. Its DOT-rated construction makes it suitable for installations subject to Department of Transportation material requirements in mobile and stationary systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before installing or removing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut squarely, deburred, and inserted fully to the tube stop before pressurizing. Verify all connections are leak-free with an appropriate leak detection method before returning the system to service.
