Valve Configuration
90° Right Angle Body
The right-angle configuration redirects flow through 90 degrees, helping simplify piping layouts where an elbow and separate shutoff valve would otherwise be required.
Female NPT Connections
Female threaded connections provide straightforward installation onto compatible male NPT piping, nipples, fittings, or equipment connections.
Compact Tee Handle
The tee-style handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while requiring less clearance than a conventional long lever handle.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged brass to provide dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible fluid handling systems.
Precision-machined internal components provide smooth quarter-turn operation and reliable shutoff performance.
The compact 90-degree body configuration helps conserve installation space while allowing piping direction to change at the valve itself.

What makes this a right angle valve?
The inlet and outlet are positioned at approximately 90 degrees to one another, allowing the valve to change the direction of flow while also providing shutoff control.
What material is the valve made from?
The supplied product information identifies forged brass body construction.
What type of connections does it use?
The valve uses female NPT threaded connections.
What sizes are available?
The supplied product information identifies 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes.
How is the valve operated?
The valve uses a compact tee handle with quarter-turn operation between the open and closed positions.
Is this valve designed for throttling?
No. The supplied product information identifies this valve for manual on/off flow control rather than throttling applications.
What is the advantage of the right-angle configuration?
The 90-degree body allows the valve to redirect flow while providing shutoff, which can reduce the number of separate fittings required in compact piping layouts.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, female NPT thread compatibility, available installation space, media compatibility, operating pressure, and temperature requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Right Angle Brass Ball Valves with tee handles.
- Available sizes are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Both connections use female NPT threads.
- 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 tee handle.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the valve body or threaded connections.
- Verify adequate clearance for full quarter-turn tee-handle operation.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical loading on the valve.
- Use the valve in fully open or fully closed positions for normal isolation service.
- Check all threaded connections for leakage after installation.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before servicing or replacing the valve.
- Follow applicable piping codes and Midland manufacturer recommendations.
