Midland Industries P-1523-000 Brass CO2 Barbed Elbow Shut-off

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES P-1523-000 is a brass 90-degree offset barbed elbow fitting designed for CO2 gas lines in beverage dispensing systems. It combines a 1/4-inch hose barb connection on one end with an integrated CO2 shut-off valve on the other, allowing technicians to control gas flow directly at the fitting without a separate inline valve. The compact brass body measures 0.85 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, making it well suited for tight plumbing runs behind dispensing equipment. At 0.05 pounds, it adds negligible weight to an assembly. The offset 90-degree geometry eases routing in confined equipment bays common in draft beer and post-mix beverage installations.

This fitting is intended for use in commercial and light-duty beverage dispensing gas circuits, specifically in Flo-Jet style CO2 delivery systems. It is typically installed by beverage equipment technicians and plumbers servicing draft beer towers, post-mix soda dispensers, and similar CO2-fed dispensing platforms where a directional change and shutoff point are needed at the hose connection. The 1/4-inch hose barb end accepts standard beverage-grade CO2 tubing used throughout these systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified beverage equipment technician or licensed plumber familiar with CO2 gas line service. Shut off and fully depressurize the CO2 supply before disconnecting any fittings or tubing. Verify that the hose barb end is fully seated in the tubing and secured with an appropriate clamp before restoring gas pressure. Inspect all connections for leaks using an approved CO2-safe leak detection solution after pressurization.
