Midland Industries SSC240568 Female Pipe Adapter 3/8x1/2 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SSC240568 is a female pipe adapter from the Mid-Lok SS Instrumentation Fittings line, designed to transition a 3/8-inch tube connection to a 1/2-inch female NPT port. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this adapter is rated for service from -325 to 1200 degrees F and delivers exceptional pressure performance - up to 6566 psi with 0.065-inch wall tubing. It is used in instrumentation, process control, and high-pressure fluid or gas systems where corrosion resistance and reliable leak-free connections are required. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians.

This adapter fits applications in industrial instrumentation, chemical processing, oil and gas, and similar high-pressure environments where stainless steel construction and NPT compatibility are specified. The fitting connects 3/8-inch tubing to a 1/2-inch female NPT port and is part of the N2405 Series within the Mid-Lok SS Instrumentation Fittings family. It is suited for both liquid and gas service across a broad temperature range, making it a standard choice for demanding process piping and instrumentation panel work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 304SS or 316SS seamless tubing conforming to ASTM A269-04 or equivalent. Pressure ratings are based on ultimate tensile strength of 75000 psi and allowable stress of 20000 psi per ASME B31.3-2002 at temperatures from -20 to 100 degrees F.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure tube fitting systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping. Do not exceed the rated working pressure for the tubing wall thickness in use.
