Valve Configuration
PEX Inlet
The inlet connects to compatible PEX tubing using the approved connection method specified for the valve and piping system.
Full-Port Ball
The internal full-port opening helps maintain system flow while minimizing restriction when the valve is fully open.
PEX Outlet
The opposite PEX connection continues the piping run using compatible tubing and the appropriate fastening or expansion method.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Full Port Ball Valves are manufactured from corrosion-resistant forged brass for dependable strength and long service life in compatible plumbing and hydronic systems.
The chrome-plated brass ball and PTFE seats provide smooth quarter-turn operation and dependable shutoff performance while helping minimize wear during repeated service cycles.
A blowout-proof stem enhances valve durability, while the zinc-plated steel lever handle with vinyl grip provides quick manual control between fully open and fully closed positions.
Why Choose a Full Port PEX Ball Valve?
High-Flow Design
- Full-port internal opening
- Helps minimize pressure loss
- Supports efficient system flow
- Suitable for main and branch isolation
- Quick quarter-turn shutoff
PEX System Compatibility
- Designed for compatible PEX tubing
- Supports applicable crimp or expansion systems
- Compact inline installation
- Available in multiple tubing sizes
- Suitable for residential and commercial plumbing
Full Port Design
Maximum Flow Capacity
The full-port configuration provides a larger internal opening intended to help maintain flow through the valve when fully open.
Reduced Restriction
The larger bore helps minimize pressure drop compared with valves using a smaller internal flow opening.
Typical Applications
PEX Plumbing Systems
- Residential water distribution
- Commercial plumbing
- Potable water supply lines
- Branch isolation
- Fixture and equipment shutoff
Radiant & Hydronic Systems
- Radiant heating systems
- Hydronic distribution piping
- Zone isolation
- Equipment service points
- Compatible closed-loop systems
PEX Installation
Verify the specific valve connection style before installation and use compatible PEX tubing, fittings, rings, sleeves, and tools for the applicable crimp or expansion system.
Confirm each connection is properly assembled before pressurizing the system and follow the PEX system manufacturer's installation requirements.
Our plumbing specialists can help review your PEX tubing size, crimp or expansion connection method, potable water requirements, radiant heating application, and installation needs before you order.
