Midland Industries 90110 Hex Swage Nipple 1x1/2 in Mpt Sch 80

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 90110 is a hex swage nipple designed to reduce pipe size from a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection down to a 1/2-inch MPT connection in a single fitting. Manufactured from steel to Schedule 80/XH wall thickness, it delivers the pressure rating and wall strength required for demanding piping systems. The hex body provides a reliable wrench flat for installation and removal without slippage. Thread specifications are 1-11-1/2 on the larger end and 1/2-14 on the smaller end, conforming to standard NPT thread dimensions. This fitting weighs approximately 0.51 pounds and measures roughly 3.45 inches in length.

Hex swage nipples are used in industrial, mechanical, and plumbing piping systems where a threaded concentric pipe reduction is needed without adding extra fittings or couplings. Common applications include gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, hydraulic systems, and general process piping. The SCH 80/XH wall rating makes this fitting appropriate for higher-pressure service compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this type of fitting for both new construction and retrofit piping work.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1 in MPT to 1/2 in MPT in a single fitting, eliminating the need for additional couplings
• Schedule 80/XH wall thickness for elevated pressure service
• Hex body design provides secure wrench engagement during installation
• Steel construction for durability in demanding piping environments
• Standard NPT thread form: 1-11-1/2 on large end, 1/2-14 on small end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in Schedule 80/XH steel pipe systems with standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as excess force can crack or distort threaded connections.
