5/32 in. x 10-32 Push-In x Male NPT Nickel-Plated Adapter
Overview
The Midland 20049N is a nickel-plated brass male adapter that connects 5/32 in. push-in tubing to a 10-32 male global thread. The tube seats by hand through a tool-free collet, while the nickel plating adds a bright, extra layer of corrosion protection over the brass body. Rated to 290 psi, it suits demanding pneumatic and instrumentation circuits.

Typical Applications
The 20049N is used where a 5/32 in. tube must terminate at a 10-32 threaded port and the bright nickel finish is preferred for appearance or added corrosion resistance. It is common on miniature pneumatic valves, solenoids, and instrument blocks in higher-pressure control circuits.

FAQ
What is the pressure rating?
The 20049N is rated to 290 psi within its -4 to 176°F temperature range. Confirm your system stays inside both limits.
Do I need tools for the tube end?
No. Push the 5/32 in. tube in until it seats and the collet locks automatically. Push the collar in to release.
What thread is 10-32?
It is a fine machine-screw thread used on miniature pneumatic and instrument ports, not a standard pipe thread.
