A side outlet elbow is a three-opening threaded fitting that combines an elbow connection with an additional branch outlet.

• Creates a directional change in the piping layout
• Adds a third branch connection at the fitting
• Reduces the need for multiple separate fittings in some installations
• Useful where piping must turn and branch at the same location
• Provides a compact threaded connection point

• Step 1: Identify the nominal threaded pipe size.
• Step 2: Confirm a side outlet elbow is required rather than a standard elbow.
• Step 3: Verify three threaded connections are needed at the fitting location.
• Step 4: Select the matching Midland part number.
• Step 5: Confirm the fitting is appropriate for the piping application.

• Verify nominal pipe size before installation.
• Inspect all mating threads for damage or contamination.
• Use thread sealant appropriate for the piping system and application.
• Start each threaded connection carefully to avoid cross-threading.
• Orient the side outlet before completing final tightening.
• Avoid excessive torque that could damage the fitting or mating components.
• Support connected piping to minimize stress on the fitting.
