Overview
The Midland 20050C534 is a composite male connector that joins 5/32 in. push-in tubing to a 1/4 in. Male NPT port. The push-to-connect collet grips the tube on insertion for a fast, tool-free seal, while the molded composite body keeps weight and cost down on pneumatic and low-pressure fluid runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tubing OD does this fit?
It accepts 5/32 in. (4 mm nominal) outside-diameter tubing pushed straight into the collet until it bottoms out.
Do I need thread sealant on the NPT end?
Yes. Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the 1/4 in. Male NPT thread, then tighten one to two turns past hand-tight.
Is the connection reusable?
Yes. Push the collet ring in and pull the tube out to release; the fitting can be reconnected multiple times.
What is the pressure limit?
Rated to 150 psi within the 32°F to 140°F range. Stay within both limits for reliable sealing.
