1/4 in. x 1/8 in. Push-In x Male Swivel Branch Tee
Overview
The Midland 20105C is a composite swivel male branch tee with two 1/4 in. push-to-connect run ports and a 1/8 in. male NPT swivel branch. The positional swivel lets you rotate the branch to its final orientation after threading. The lightweight composite body resists corrosion and is rated to 150 psi, a tidy way to take a threaded branch off a continuous tube run.

Typical Applications
Use this branch tee to add a 1/8 in. threaded take-off, such as a gauge, sensor, or pilot line, to a 1/4 in. push-to-connect run on pneumatic panels and automation equipment. The swivel branch is handy where the instrument port direction is fixed but the run tubing routing is not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a branch tee and a run tee?
A branch tee takes the odd connection (here the 1/8 in. threaded branch) off the side while keeping both run ports the same size; a run tee keeps the in-line ports matched and branches a different size.
Does the branch swivel?
Yes. The positional swivel lets you rotate the 1/8 in. NPT branch into place after the thread is set.
What is the maximum pressure?
This composite tee is rated to 150 psi.
What is the temperature range?
It is rated for 32°F to 140°F.
