Valve Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male NPT pipe or fitting for secure threaded installation.
Female NPT Outlet
The outlet also uses female NPT threads, creating a simple female-to-female inline connection.
Automatic Check Action
The internal check mechanism responds to changes in flow direction without requiring a handle, actuator, or manual control.
Construction Details
The valve body is precision machined from durable brass to provide dependable mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in compatible fluid systems.
Female threaded connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into standard NPT piping arrangements.
The internal spring-assisted check mechanism opens with forward flow and closes when flow decreases or reverses, helping protect piping and connected equipment from backflow.

What connection configuration does this valve use?
The valve uses female NPT connections on both ends, commonly described as F x F.
What material is the body made from?
The supplied product information identifies durable brass construction.
Does this valve operate automatically?
Yes. The internal check mechanism responds automatically to forward and reverse flow conditions.
What sizes are available?
The supplied product information identifies sizes from 1/4" through 2".
What fluids can this valve be used with?
The supplied information identifies water, air, and other compatible fluids, subject to pressure, temperature, and material limitations.
Does installation direction matter?
Yes. Install the valve with the flow arrow on the body pointing in the intended direction of normal system flow.
What is the purpose of the spring-assisted mechanism?
The spring assists the internal check element in returning to the closed position when forward flow decreases or reverses.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, female NPT thread compatibility, intended media, operating pressure, temperature, and flow direction before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Brass Inline Check Valves with F x F connections.
- Available sizes range from 1/4" through 2".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Both ends use female NPT threaded connections.
- Install with the flow arrow pointing in the intended direction of system flow.
- Verify brass compatibility with the intended media.
- Confirm operating pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant where permitted.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the valve or threaded connections.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Check valve operation after installation to confirm proper forward flow and reverse-flow closure.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before maintenance or replacement.
- Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes and manufacturer recommendations.
