Valve Configuration
SAE Inlet
The straight-thread SAE inlet is designed to connect with properly matched fittings and sealing components.
Full-Port Ball
The internal ball provides a large flow passage to help minimize restriction when the valve is fully open.
SAE Outlet
The matching straight-thread SAE outlet supports secure inline installation in compatible fluid systems.
Construction Details
The valve uses a rotating internal ball to provide straightforward quarter-turn opening and closing for positive flow isolation.
Its full-port design helps maintain efficient system flow by reducing internal restriction through the valve body when fully open.
Straight-thread SAE connections are intended for use with the correct mating fittings and sealing method required by the system design.
Why Choose a Full-Port Ball Valve?
Reduced Flow Restriction
- Large internal flow passage
- Helps minimize pressure loss
- Supports efficient fluid movement
- Useful in hydraulic and fluid power systems
- Provides unobstructed flow when fully open
Fast Shutoff
- Quarter-turn operation
- Quick open and close control
- Positive isolation
- Simple manual operation
- Compact inline design
Straight-Thread SAE Connections
Secure Mechanical Connection
Straight-thread SAE connections provide a controlled threaded interface commonly used in hydraulic and fluid power systems.
Proper Sealing Required
Unlike tapered pipe threads, straight-thread SAE connections depend on the appropriate sealing method and matching components rather than thread interference alone.
Brass Construction
Corrosion Resistance
Brass construction provides useful corrosion resistance in many compatible fluid handling applications.
Durable Valve Body
The brass body provides a strong, compact housing for the internal ball and sealing components.
Typical Applications
Hydraulic & Fluid Power Systems
- Hydraulic circuits
- Fluid power equipment
- Mobile equipment
- Hose assemblies
- Equipment isolation points
Industrial Fluid Systems
- Industrial machinery
- Compatible oil systems
- General fluid transfer
- Maintenance isolation
- Process support systems
SAE Straight Thread vs. NPT
SAE Straight Thread
SAE straight threads provide a mechanical threaded connection and typically rely on a separate sealing feature matched to the fitting design.
NPT
NPT connections use tapered threads that tighten through thread interference and normally require an appropriate thread sealant.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What is the Midland part number?
The supplied product information identifies SKU 940226.
What type of connections does it use?
The valve uses straight-thread SAE connections.
What material is the valve?
The supplied product title identifies brass construction.
Is this a full-port valve?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies a full-port design intended to minimize internal flow restriction.
How is the valve operated?
The valve uses quarter-turn ball valve operation for quick opening and closing.
What is this valve used for?
The supplied product information identifies compatible fluid power and hydraulic piping systems as intended applications.
Do SAE straight threads seal the same way as NPT?
No. SAE straight-thread connections require the correct matched fitting and sealing method rather than relying on tapered thread interference.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the 1-1/4" connection size, SAE thread specification, required sealing method, system pressure, operating temperature, and fluid compatibility before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland SKU 940226.
- Nominal connection size is 1-1/4".
- Connections are straight-thread SAE.
- Confirm the exact SAE thread specification before ordering.
- Use the correct matching fittings and sealing components for the SAE connection.
- Do not apply NPT-style sealing practices unless specifically appropriate for the connection design.
- Verify brass compatibility with the intended media.
- Confirm system pressure and operating temperature requirements before installation.
- Support connected tubing or hose to prevent excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the threads or valve body.
- Use proper wrench placement during installation rather than applying installation torque through the operating handle.
- Cycle the valve after installation to confirm smooth quarter-turn operation.
- Use primarily for full-open or full-closed isolation unless throttling is specifically permitted by the manufacturer.
- Install according to applicable hydraulic, fluid power, piping, and manufacturer recommendations.
