Overview
The Midland 26221B is a brass barstock captive-sleeve 90-degree male elbow that turns a 3/16 in. compression tube line into a 1/8 in. male NPTF port. The machined barstock body gives a compact, sturdy corner for tight instrument and metering installations where a swept elbow saves space against a panel or wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which end is the tube?
The 3/16 in. compression end takes the tube; the 1/8 in. male NPTF end threads into a tapped port.
What does barstock mean here?
The body is machined from solid brass bar rather than forged, giving a compact, dimensionally tight elbow.
Do I seal the threads?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the male NPT thread only; not on the compression side.
Can it be reoriented after tightening?
Set the elbow direction before final tightening of the NPT thread; do not back off to align.
