Valve Configuration
Male NPT Connection
The male threaded end installs directly into a compatible female NPT fitting, port, manifold, or equipment connection.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection.
Compact Flag Handle
The black flag handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while minimizing the operating clearance required around the valve.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged 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, allowing fast manual shutoff where a conventional long lever handle may not fit.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Chrome-Plated Mini Brass Ball Valves with flag handles and M x F connections.
- Available sizes are 1/8", 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 forged 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 or equipment 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.
