Valve Configuration
Flanged Connection
The flanged end provides a bolted connection to a compatible mating flange within the water distribution system.
Resilient Wedge Body
The internal resilient wedge moves through the valve body to provide dependable full-open or full-closed isolation.
Mechanical Joint Connection
The MJ end provides a mechanical connection to compatible waterworks piping using the appropriate joint accessories.
Construction Details
The Midland AWWA C515 gate valve uses a high-strength ductile iron body designed for long-term service in demanding municipal and commercial water systems.
A stainless steel non-rising stem provides corrosion resistance while remaining protected within the valve body during operation.
The resilient wedge provides dependable sealing performance, while the FL x MJ end configuration allows the valve to transition between flanged piping and mechanical joint waterworks connections.
Why Choose an AWWA C515 Gate Valve?
Waterworks Design
- Manufactured to AWWA C515 requirements
- Designed for municipal water distribution
- 300 PSI working pressure rating
- Resilient seated shutoff
- Ductile iron construction
Installation Flexibility
- Flanged connection on one end
- Mechanical joint connection on the other
- Suitable for buried or above-ground installations
- Multiple nominal sizes available
- Useful for water main transitions and isolation points
Non-Rising Stem Design
Compact Operation
The non-rising stem remains within the valve body during opening and closing, reducing the amount of vertical operating clearance required.
Suitable for Underground Service
The compact stem design is well suited for buried installations where above-valve clearance is limited.
FL x MJ Connection
Flanged End
The flanged side connects to a compatible mating flange using the appropriate gasket, bolts, and installation procedures.
Mechanical Joint End
The mechanical joint side connects to compatible waterworks pipe using the required gland, gasket, bolts, and related joint components.
Typical Applications
Municipal Water Systems
- Water distribution mains
- Transmission piping
- Utility service lines
- Municipal isolation points
- Potable water infrastructure
Commercial & Utility Systems
- Site water mains
- Commercial water distribution
- Underground utility piping
- Mechanical room water systems
- Infrastructure isolation valves
Flanged vs. Mechanical Joint Connections
Flanged Connection
A flanged connection uses bolted mating flanges and a gasket to create a rigid, serviceable joint in the piping system.
Mechanical Joint Connection
A mechanical joint uses a gland, gasket, and bolts to form a secure connection with compatible waterworks piping.
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 does FL x MJ mean?
FL x MJ indicates a flanged connection on one end and a mechanical joint connection on the other.
What standard does this valve meet?
The supplied product information identifies the valve as manufactured to AWWA C515 requirements.
What is the pressure rating?
The supplied product information lists a 300 PSI working pressure rating.
What sizes are available?
The supplied product information lists 3", 4", 6", 8", 10", and 12" nominal sizes.
What material is the valve body made from?
The supplied product information identifies heavy-duty ductile iron body construction.
What material is the stem?
The supplied product information identifies a stainless steel stem.
What does NRS mean?
NRS means non-rising stem. The stem remains within the valve body rather than extending upward as the valve opens.
Can this valve be installed underground?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies buried and above-ground potable water systems as suitable applications.
Is this valve designed for throttling?
Gate valves are generally intended for full-open or full-closed isolation service rather than routine throttling.
What are the available Midland part numbers?
The supplied part numbers are 9600FJ3, 9600FJ4, 9600FJ6, 9600FJ8, 9600FJ10, and 9600FJ12.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal valve size, flange compatibility, mechanical joint requirements, pressure rating, installation location, piping dimensions, and project specifications before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland AWWA C515 Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve with FL x MJ end connections.
- Available sizes are 3", 4", 6", 8", 10", and 12".
