Valve Configuration
Male NPT Connection
The male threaded end installs directly into a compatible female NPT fitting, port, or piping connection.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection.
Compact Tee Handle
The tee-style handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while maintaining a compact profile for space-conscious installations.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged brass to provide dependable mechanical strength and long service life in compatible fluid handling systems.
A chrome-plated finish helps improve corrosion resistance while providing a durable exterior surface for commercial and industrial installations.
The compact tee handle rotates approximately 90 degrees between the open and closed positions, providing fast manual shutoff without requiring the clearance of a full-length lever handle.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Chrome-Plated Brass Mini Ball Valves with tee handles and M x F connections.
- Available sizes range from 1/8" through 1/2".
- Confirm the required nominal connection size before ordering.
- One end is male NPT and the opposite end is female NPT.
- Verify sufficient clearance for tee-handle operation.
- Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted for NPT connections.
- Apply installation torque to appropriate wrenching surfaces rather than the handle.
- Verify forged brass and chrome-plated construction are compatible with the intended media.
- Confirm Viton® compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being handled.
- Verify operating pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the body or threaded connections.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Check all threaded connections for leakage after installation.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before servicing or replacing the valve.
- Follow applicable piping requirements and manufacturer recommendations.
