Description
Midland Mini Ball Valve w/ Screwdriver Top & Viton Seal (F x F)
Midland Mini Ball Valves with Screwdriver Tops and Viton® Seals provide compact quarter-turn shutoff for plumbing, instrumentation, pneumatic, OEM, and other fluid handling applications where installation space is limited.
Manufactured from forged brass, these valves feature female NPT threaded connections on both ends and a recessed screwdriver-operated actuator for low-profile operation. The Viton® seal offers enhanced resistance to many chemicals, oils, fuels, and elevated-temperature applications when properly matched to the service media.

Valve Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection for secure threaded installation.
Female NPT Outlet
The outlet also uses female NPT threads, creating a compact female-to-female inline valve configuration.
Screwdriver Top
The recessed actuator can be operated with a standard flat-blade screwdriver, eliminating the need for a protruding handle.
Construction Details
The forged brass body provides dependable strength, durability, and corrosion resistance in compatible compact fluid handling systems.
The recessed screwdriver-operated stem provides positive quarter-turn control while keeping overall valve height to a minimum, making the valve well suited for equipment, panels, manifolds, and other confined installations.
Female NPT threaded ends on both sides allow straightforward installation between compatible male-threaded piping components.

What connections does this valve use?
The valve uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends, commonly identified as F x F.
How is the valve opened and closed?
The valve uses a recessed screwdriver-slot actuator that can be rotated approximately 90 degrees with a standard flat-blade screwdriver.
Why use a screwdriver-operated valve?
The screwdriver top eliminates the clearance required for a conventional lever or flag handle, making the valve useful in tight or enclosed installations.
What material is the valve body?
The supplied product information identifies forged brass body construction.
What seal material does this valve use?
This model uses a Viton® seal for enhanced resistance to many chemicals and elevated-temperature applications compared with some general-purpose elastomers.
Can this valve be used with chemicals?
Viton® offers compatibility with many chemicals, oils, and fuels, but suitability depends on the exact media, concentration, pressure, and temperature. Verify compatibility before installation.
Is this a quarter-turn valve?
Yes. The screwdriver-operated actuator provides quarter-turn operation between the open and closed positions.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, F x F NPT connection configuration, seal compatibility, system pressure, operating temperature, and intended service media.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Mini Ball Valves with screwdriver tops, Viton® seals, and F x F connections.
- Confirm the required nominal connection size before ordering.
- Both ends use female NPT threaded connections.
- The valve is operated using a compatible flat-blade screwdriver.
- Do not use excessive force when operating the screwdriver-slot actuator.
- Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where permitted for NPT connections.
- Apply installation torque to appropriate wrenching surfaces rather than the actuator.
- Verify forged brass is compatible with the intended service media.
- Confirm Viton® compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being handled.
- Verify operating pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Check threaded connections for leakage after installation.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before servicing or replacing the valve.
- Follow applicable piping requirements and manufacturer recommendations.
