Overview
The Midland 20161A is a brass swivel male run tee with 5/32 in. push-in ports on the run and a 1/8 in. male NPT swivel branch. The push-in run lets tubing pass straight through while the swivel NPT leg taps off to a threaded port and rotates into alignment after seating.

Typical Applications
Used where a 5/32 in. air or fluid run must tap off to a threaded port mid-line, common in instrumentation, pneumatic logic, and small machine builds. The straight-through run keeps the main line uninterrupted while the swivel branch threads into a manifold and orients without stressing the tubing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a run tee and a branch tee?
A run tee taps off the middle of a straight-through run line; a branch tee joins two tubes into one branch leg.
What tube size does the 20161A accept?
The run ports accept 5/32 in. OD tubing; the branch is 1/8 in. male NPT.
Is the thread repositionable?
Yes, the swivel NPT leg rotates into alignment after the threads are seated.
Do I need sealant?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the NPT leg; the push-in ports seal on the o-ring.
