Midland Industries FS27034 Bulkhead Union Branch Tee

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES FS27034 is a steel bulkhead union branch tee fitting designed for use in hydraulic plumbing systems. Part of the FS2703 Series MORFS (Male O-Ring Face Seal) line, this three-port tee provides a leak-resistant connection point where a hydraulic line must pass through a panel or bulkhead while simultaneously branching to a second line. All three ports use 1/4-inch male O-ring face seal connections with 9/16-18 thread sizing. The ORFS design delivers a reliable metal-to-metal and elastomeric seal that resists vibration-induced loosening common in mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and any hydraulic circuit requiring a compact branch point through a panel wall. It is commonly installed by hydraulic system technicians, equipment mechanics, and plumbing contractors working on steel hydraulic lines. The center-to-end envelope of 1.78 inches by 1.85 inches makes it practical for tight panel installations where space is limited.

Key Features

• Three-port bulkhead configuration allows simultaneous panel pass-through and line branching
• Male O-ring face seal on all three ports for high-integrity, vibration-resistant sealing
• 9/16-18 thread size on all three connections for consistent hardware compatibility
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• Compact 1.78 by 1.85 inch center-to-end dimensions suit tight bulkhead installations
• Part of the FS2703 Series MORFS Bulkhead Union Branch Tee product line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style steel ORFS adapter for hydraulic systems using 1/4-inch male O-ring face seal connections with 9/16-18 thread sizing, consistent with SAE straight-thread ORFS port standards common in mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disassembling any fittings or lines. Inspect the O-ring sealing surface on mating components for nicks or contamination before assembly, and use a new O-ring with appropriate hydraulic fluid lubrication to achieve a proper face seal. Torque to the fitting manufacturer specifications and verify no leaks at system operating pressure before returning equipment to service.
