Valve Configuration
Female Pipe Connection
The 1" female pipe thread connection accepts a compatible male threaded piping or equipment connection.
3-Way Wye Body
The forged brass valve body provides a compact three-port wye configuration for controlling flow between connected piping branches.
Male Pipe Connection
The 3/4" male pipe thread connection installs into a compatible female threaded downstream component.
Construction Details
The Midland 947125 is manufactured with a forged brass body for dependable mechanical strength and long service life.
A chrome-plated brass ball works with PTFE seats, seals, and packing to provide smooth quarter-turn operation and reliable sealing performance across the specified operating range.
The nickel-plated exterior provides added corrosion resistance, while the two stainless steel handles with vinyl grips allow convenient manual control of the three-way flow configuration.
Why Choose a 3-Way Wye Ball Valve?
Directional Flow Control
- Three-port wye configuration
- Allows control between multiple flow paths
- Dual manual handles
- Useful for branch isolation
- Compact alternative to multiple separate valves
Full-Port Performance
- Designed to minimize flow restriction
- Helps reduce pressure loss
- Supports efficient fluid movement
- Suitable for demanding flow applications
- 600 PSI maximum working pressure
Non-Vented Ball Design
Standard Ball Configuration
The non-vented ball does not incorporate the cavity-pressure vent feature found on vented versions of this valve style.
Application Selection
Choose between vented and non-vented configurations based on system design, pressure requirements, media, and application specifications.
Full-Port Flow Path
Reduced Restriction
The full-port internal design provides a larger flow passage intended to help minimize unnecessary restriction through the valve.
Lower Pressure Loss
A larger internal passage can reduce pressure drop compared with more restrictive reduced-port valve designs.
Dual Handle Operation
Quarter-Turn Control
The dual lever handles provide fast manual quarter-turn operation for controlling the connected flow paths.
Vinyl-Insulated Grips
Vinyl handle covers provide a more comfortable gripping surface during routine valve operation.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Plumbing Systems
- Building utility piping
- Fluid distribution systems
- Equipment connections
- Branch isolation
- General plumbing applications
Industrial Systems
- Process fluid distribution
- Plant utility piping
- Equipment manifolds
- Directional flow control
- Compatible high-pressure applications
Non-Vented vs. Vented Ball Valve
Non-Vented
A non-vented ball uses a standard closed ball configuration without a dedicated cavity-pressure relief passage.
Vented
A vented ball incorporates a relief path intended to help prevent pressure from becoming trapped within the valve cavity.
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.
