3/8 in. x 1/4 in. Compression x Male NPT White Nylon Elbow
3/8 in. x 1/4 in. Compression x Male NPT White Nylon Elbow
Overview
The Midland 17233N is a 90-degree elbow molded in white nylon, with a 3/8 in. compression inlet and a 1/4 in. male NPT outlet on a 9/16-24 x 1/4-18 thread combination. It turns a 3/8 in. tubing run 90 degrees into a 1/4 in. NPT port, saving space where a chemical feed line has to change direction at a pump or panel.

Typical Applications
Used where a 3/8 in. tubing run must turn 90 degrees into a 1/4 in. NPT port on metering pump heads, injection assemblies, and tight panel layouts. The non-metallic nylon elbow resists alkalis, fuels, and solvents and is a frequent choice on dosing skids that need a compact corner connection without brass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which end is the tube and which is the thread?
The 3/8 in. compression end takes the tubing; the 1/4 in. male NPT end threads into the port.
Can the elbow be oriented after install?
Final position is set by how far the NPT thread is tightened; plan the run so the outlet lands where you need it.
Do I seal the NPT threads?
Yes, apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the 1/4 in. male NPT and tighten one to two turns past hand-tight.
