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 Tee Handle
The brass tee handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while requiring less operating clearance than a conventional long lever handle.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged brass to provide dependable strength, durability, and corrosion resistance in compatible fluid handling systems.
The full-port ball design helps minimize pressure loss while PTFE seats and seals provide smooth operation and dependable leak resistance.
A brass stem and compact tee handle provide simple quarter-turn control, while the MIP x FIP threaded configuration allows direct installation between compatible male- and female-threaded piping components.
600 PSI WOG Rating
The supplied product information identifies this valve with a 600 PSI WOG pressure rating for compatible water, oil, and gas service.
Actual allowable pressure can depend on operating temperature, media, and system conditions, so compatibility should always be confirmed before installation.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Italian MIP x FIP Tee Handle Brass Ball Valves.
- Available sizes are 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- One end uses a male NPT connection and the opposite end uses a female NPT connection.
- The supplied product information identifies a 600 PSI WOG pressure rating.
- Verify forged brass, brass stem, and PTFE components are compatible with the intended media.
- Confirm operating pressure and 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 tee handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threaded connections.
- Verify adequate clearance for complete quarter-turn tee-handle operation.
