Valve Configuration
Full-Port Flow Path
The internal passage is designed to maintain high flow capacity while helping minimize restriction and pressure loss when the valve is fully open.
Female NPT Connections
Female threaded connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into compatible standard NPT piping systems.
Locking Handle
The steel handle can be secured in either the open or closed position using a compatible customer-supplied padlock.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from durable brass to provide dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible fluid handling systems.
The full-port internal design allows efficient flow through the valve while reducing unnecessary restriction compared with reduced-port designs.
The integrated locking steel handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while allowing the selected valve position to be secured when additional control is required.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Full Port Brass Ball Valves with locking handles.
- Available sizes range from 1/4" through 2".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Both ends use female NPT threaded connections.
- Padlock is not included.
- Verify brass construction is compatible with the intended service media.
- Confirm operating pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Verify local plumbing, mechanical, or process requirements before use.
- Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted on NPT connections.
- Apply installation torque to proper wrenching surfaces rather than the locking handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threaded connections.
- Verify adequate clearance for full quarter-turn handle movement and padlock installation.
