Valve Configuration
Full-Port Flow Path
The full-port internal passage helps maintain efficient system flow while minimizing unnecessary restriction and pressure loss.
Female NPT Connections
Female threaded connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into compatible standard NPT piping systems.
Quarter-Turn Handle
The lever handle rotates approximately 90 degrees between fully open and fully closed positions for fast manual shutoff.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged Italian brass to provide dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible piping systems.
A precision-machined full-port ball allows flow to pass through the valve with minimal restriction when fully open.
The threaded female NPT ends simplify installation into new or existing piping systems, while the lever handle provides quick and dependable quarter-turn control.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Italian Full Port Brass Ball Valves.
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Both ends use female NPT threaded connections.
- Verify forged brass compatibility 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 handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threads.
- Verify adequate clearance for full lever-handle movement.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical loading on the valve.
- Check all 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 replacement.
- Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes along with Midland manufacturer recommendations.
