Midland Industries 720602SC Dot Male Branch Tee Composite

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 720602SC is a D.O.T.-rated composite male branch tee designed for pneumatic push-to-connect tubing systems. It provides a three-port split in a single fitting body, with two 3/8-inch push-to-connect ports and one 1/8-inch male NPT port. The composite body is rated to 145 psi and handles temperatures from -40 to 140 degrees F, making it suitable for air brake and pneumatic control lines on commercial vehicles and equipment. The 1/8-27 NPT thread and positional swivel feature allow for flexible routing during installation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, or fleet service technicians working on D.O.T.-compliant air systems typically handle this fitting.

The 720602SC is used in D.O.T.-compliant pneumatic systems where a branch connection is needed without cutting and splicing separate line sections. Typical applications include air brake supply lines, trailer pneumatic controls, and compressed air distribution in mobile or stationary equipment. The push-to-connect ports accept 3/8-inch O.D. tubing for tool-free insertion, while the 1/8-inch male NPT port threads directly into a valve body, manifold, or component port. The positional swivel on the NPT end allows the fitting to be oriented after make-up without disturbing the tubing run.

Key Features

• D.O.T.-rated composite body for use in regulated pneumatic and air brake applications
• Dual 3/8-inch push-to-connect ports for quick, tool-free tubing insertion
• 1/8-inch male NPT port with 1/8-27 thread for direct component port connection
• Positional swivel allows post-installation orientation adjustment
• 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 140 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T.-rated replacement or service fitting for pneumatic push-to-connect systems using 3/8-inch O.D. tubing and 1/8-inch NPT ported components in commercial vehicle and mobile equipment air circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with D.O.T. air brake and pneumatic system requirements. Depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Push-to-connect ports require clean, square-cut tubing ends inserted fully until seated; verify retention by pulling back on the tubing after insertion. Thread the NPT port into the mating component by hand first, then tighten to manufacturer recommendations without over-torquing the composite body.
