Midland Metal 707001-0404 Brass Male Adapter 1/4 in Mipt X Insert

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL 707001-0404 is a lead-free brass male adapter designed to transition between a 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection and a barbed insert fitting. This fitting is used to join threaded pipe or tubing ends to flexible insert-style hose or tubing in low-pressure fluid systems. The lead-free brass construction meets drinking water safety requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter where a threaded port must connect to insert-barb tubing without soldering or specialized tooling.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including potable water supply lines, irrigation connections, and hydronic distribution systems where a transition from threaded fittings to flexible tubing is required. The 1/4 inch MIPT thread engages standard pipe threads on valves, manifolds, or equipment ports, while the insert end accepts compatible barbed tubing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during new construction, retrofit, or repair work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water application requirements
• 1/4 inch MIPT thread for standard pipe thread connections
• Insert barb end for secure connection to compatible flexible tubing
• Compact adapter design for tight installation spaces
• Reusable fitting suitable for low-pressure fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 1/4 inch MIPT to insert barb transition in lead-free brass.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MIPT threads before assembly and hand-tighten before using a wrench to avoid over-torquing the fitting body. Ensure the insert barb end is fully seated into compatible tubing and secured with an appropriate clamp or crimp ring per the tubing manufacturer's instructions.
