Valve Configuration
Female IPS Inlet
One female threaded connection accepts a compatible male IPS piping component.
Full Port Gate Body
The internal gate retracts from the flow path when fully open to help minimize restriction through the valve.
Female IPS Outlet
The opposite female threaded connection accepts the adjoining compatible male IPS piping component.
Construction Details
The Midland full port gate valve is manufactured from solid brass to provide corrosion resistance and dependable long-term performance in compatible plumbing and piping systems.
The full port design helps maintain an open flow path when the gate is fully raised, while the multi-turn handwheel provides controlled opening and closing.
Female IPS threaded connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into compatible threaded piping systems.
Why Choose a Full Port Gate Valve?
Low Restriction When Open
- Full port design
- Gate retracts from the primary flow path
- Helps reduce unnecessary restriction
- Suitable for straight-through flow applications
- Designed for full-open operation
Dependable Isolation
- Multi-turn handwheel operation
- Designed for on/off shutoff service
- Durable brass body
- Corrosion-resistant construction
- Available in multiple pipe sizes
Multi-Turn Operation
Opening the Valve
Rotating the handwheel raises the internal gate out of the flow path until the valve reaches the fully open position.
Closing the Valve
Rotating the handwheel in the closing direction lowers the gate into the flow path to isolate the connected piping system.
Female x Female IPS Connection
Female IPS Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male-threaded piping component for a straightforward threaded connection.
Female IPS Outlet
The outlet accepts a second compatible male-threaded component, creating a straight-through valve connection.
Typical Applications
Residential & Commercial Plumbing
- Water supply piping
- Building plumbing systems
- Equipment isolation points
- Utility piping
- General water service
Industrial & General Service
- Industrial water systems
- Plant utility piping
- General fluid service
- Maintenance isolation points
- Compatible threaded piping assemblies
Gate Valve vs. Ball Valve
Gate Valve
A gate valve uses a multi-turn handwheel to raise or lower a gate and is designed primarily for full-open or full-closed isolation service.
Ball Valve
A ball valve typically uses quarter-turn operation for faster opening and closing and may be preferred where rapid shutoff is desired.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What does F x F mean?
F x F indicates that the valve has female threaded connections on both ends.
What does IPS mean?
IPS refers to iron pipe size threaded piping connections used with compatible pipe and fittings.
What material is the valve made from?
The supplied product information identifies the valve body as brass.
What does full port mean?
Full port refers to a valve design intended to provide a relatively unrestricted flow path when the valve is fully open.
How does this valve operate?
The valve uses a multi-turn handwheel to raise or lower the internal gate.
What sizes are available?
The supplied product information states that sizes are available from 1/4" through 2".
What media can this valve be used with?
The supplied information identifies water and general plumbing service. Always verify material, pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
Can this gate valve be used for throttling?
No. The supplied product information states that the valve is designed for fully open or fully closed service and is not intended for throttling applications.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted by the application, piping specification, and manufacturer recommendations.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm connection size, female x female IPS configuration, media compatibility, operating pressure, operating temperature, and installation requirements before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland Full Port Brass Gate Valve with Female x Female IPS threaded connections.
- Confirm the required nominal connection size before ordering.
- Available sizes are listed from 1/4" through 2".
- Verify compatibility between the female IPS connections and mating male-threaded piping components.
- Confirm brass compatibility with the intended process media.
- Verify system pressure and operating temperature requirements before installation.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted by the piping specification.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the brass valve body or threaded connections.
- Apply installation torque to the appropriate valve body area rather than using the handwheel as leverage.
- Operate the valve in the fully open or fully closed position.
- This gate valve is not intended for routine throttling or flow regulation.
- Provide adequate clearance for handwheel operation and future valve maintenance.
- Install according to applicable plumbing codes and manufacturer recommendations.
- Confirm pressure, temperature, media, connection size, and project requirements before installation.
