Midland Industries SSC240448 Male Pipe Adapter Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SSC240448 is a male pipe adapter designed for instrumentation tubing systems requiring reliable, high-pressure connections. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting connects a 1/4-inch tube to a 1/2-inch male NPT port. It is rated for working pressures up to 10135 psi with 0.065-inch thick tube wall and handles temperatures from -325 to 1200 degrees F. The N2404 Series Mid-Lok design provides a secure compression-style tube connection suited for use in demanding fluid and gas instrumentation lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working in industrial, chemical, or process environments are the primary installers of this fitting.

This adapter fits into instrumentation and process control applications where stainless steel compression fittings are required. It is part of the Mid-Lok SS Instrumentation Fittings line and belongs to the N2404 Series covering tube-to-MNPT configurations. Typical use scenarios include connecting stainless steel tubing to threaded instrument ports, valves, or manifolds in high-pressure or corrosive service environments. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications involving corrosive media, elevated pressures, and wide temperature swings where brass or carbon steel fittings are not suitable.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style instrumentation fitting for use with 304SS or 316SS seamless tubing meeting ASTM A269-04 or equivalent specifications, within the MIDLAND INDUSTRIES Mid-Lok SS N2404 Series tube-to-MNPT product family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for stainless steel NPT threads and verify tube wall thickness against published pressure ratings before commissioning. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping to ensure compliant installation.
