Overview
The Midland 20163NA is a nickel-plated brass swivel male run tee with 1/4 in. push-in run ports and a 1/4 in. male global-thread swivel branch. The nickel finish adds corrosion resistance and lifts the rating to 290 psi, making it the choice for washdown or exposed 1/4 in. lines that need a threaded tap-off. The positional swivel sets after install.
