Midland Industries 9222-16-12 90-deg Union Elbow Bspp Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9222-16-12 is a 90-degree union elbow adapter designed for hydraulic plumbing applications that require a directional change between two male British Standard Parallel Pipe (BSPP) threaded connections. The larger port accepts a 1-inch male BSPP thread with an 11-thread-per-inch pitch, while the smaller port accepts a 3/4-inch male BSPP thread with a 14-thread-per-inch pitch. Constructed from steel, this adapter provides the strength and pressure tolerance expected in hydraulic systems. It is part of the 9222 Series of BSPP union elbows and is installed by hydraulic technicians and pipefitters working on mobile or industrial hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for steel hydraulic plumbing assemblies where a 90-degree directional change and a size transition between 1-inch and 3/4-inch BSPP ported components are required. Typical applications include industrial hydraulic power units, mobile equipment hydraulic lines, and fluid power systems that specify BSPP thread forms. The union elbow configuration allows for easier assembly and disassembly compared to standard fixed elbows, making it practical in installations with limited access or frequent service requirements.

Key Features

• 90-degree union elbow configuration allows directional routing with serviceable connections
• 1-inch male BSPP (1-11 thread) on the primary port and 3/4-inch male BSPP (3/4-14 thread) on the secondary port
• Steel construction provides durability and pressure resistance in hydraulic service
• Part of the 9222 Series Steel BSPP Adapters line for consistent fitment across BSPP hydraulic plumbing assemblies
• Compact envelope at 2.6 inches wide and 2.4 inches in length for use in tight hydraulic plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic systems using British Standard Parallel Pipe threaded connections, particularly those requiring a 90-degree elbow transition between 1-inch and 3/4-inch male BSPP ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with BSPP thread standards. Always depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings to prevent injury from residual pressure. BSPP threads require an appropriate sealing method such as an O-ring face seal or bonded seal washer at the port face - do not rely on thread engagement alone for sealing. Verify thread compatibility before assembly, as BSPP and BSP tapered (BSPT) threads are not interchangeable.
