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 Flag Handle
The low-profile flag handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while minimizing the clearance required around the valve.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from solid brass to provide dependable strength, durability, and corrosion resistance in compatible fluid handling systems.
A chrome-plated exterior finish helps protect the valve body while providing a durable surface for commercial, industrial, and OEM applications.
The compact flag handle rotates approximately 90 degrees between fully open and fully closed positions, providing fast manual shutoff in installations where a conventional long lever handle may not fit.

What connection configuration does this valve use?
The valve uses a male NPT connection on one end and a female NPT connection on the other, commonly identified as M x F.
What material is the valve body made from?
The supplied product information identifies solid brass construction with a chrome-plated finish.
What type of handle does it use?
The valve uses a compact flag handle for quarter-turn manual operation.
What sizes are available?
The supplied product information identifies 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes.
Why use a flag handle?
A flag handle requires less operating clearance than many conventional lever handles, making it useful in compact or enclosed installations.
Is this a quarter-turn valve?
Yes. The handle rotates approximately 90 degrees between the fully open and fully closed positions.
What applications is this valve suited for?
The supplied information identifies plumbing, instrumentation, pneumatic, and OEM applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, M x F NPT connection requirements, operating pressure, temperature, intended media, and available handle clearance.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Chrome-Plated Mini Brass Ball Valves with M x F connections.
- Available sizes are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- One end uses a male NPT connection and the opposite end uses a female NPT connection.
- Verify brass and chrome-plated construction are compatible with the intended service media.
- Confirm system pressure and operating temperature requirements before installation.
- Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted on NPT connections.
- Apply installation torque to proper wrenching surfaces rather than the flag handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threaded connections.
- Verify adequate clearance for complete quarter-turn flag-handle movement.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical loading on the valve.
- Check threaded connections for leakage after installation.
- Use the valve primarily in the fully open or fully closed position for isolation service.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before servicing or replacing the valve.
- Follow applicable piping requirements and Midland manufacturer recommendations.
