Valve Configuration
Full-Port Flow Path
The internal passage is designed to maintain high flow capacity while helping minimize unnecessary restriction and pressure loss when the valve is fully open.
Female NPT Connections
Female threaded connections on both ends allow straightforward installation into compatible standard NPT piping systems.
Quarter-Turn Lever
The steel 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 brass to provide dependable mechanical strength, durability, and long service life in compatible fluid handling applications.
A nickel-plated exterior finish helps protect the brass body against corrosion and wear while maintaining a clean, durable surface in demanding environments.
The precision-machined full-port ball helps reduce pressure loss, while the blowout-proof stem design and quarter-turn steel lever handle provide reliable operation throughout the valve's service life.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Nickel-Plated Full Port Brass Ball Valves.
- Available sizes range from 1/4" through 2".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Both ends use female NPT threaded connections.
- Verify forged brass and nickel-plated construction are compatible 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 lever handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threaded connections.
- Verify adequate clearance for complete quarter-turn handle movement.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical loading on the valve.
- Check 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 replacing the valve.
- Follow applicable piping requirements and Midland manufacturer recommendations.
