Valve Configuration
Female Threaded Inlet
One female NPT connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection.
Compact Ball Valve Body
The compact stainless steel body minimizes installation space while providing quarter-turn shutoff control for compatible high-pressure applications.
Female Threaded Outlet
The opposite female NPT connection attaches to the adjoining compatible male-threaded piping component.
Construction Details
The Midland 1000# mini ball valve uses stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance in compatible service environments.
Female x female NPT threaded connections allow installation between compatible male-threaded piping components, equipment connections, or instrumentation assemblies.
The low-profile stainless steel wing handle provides smooth quarter-turn operation while requiring less clearance than a conventional extended lever handle.
Why Choose a 1000 PSI Mini Ball Valve?
Compact High-Pressure Flow Control
- 1000 PSI working pressure rating at ambient temperature
- Designed for tight installation spaces
- Fast quarter-turn operation
- Female threaded connections on both ends
- Useful near equipment and instrumentation
Stainless Steel Construction
- Corrosion-resistant body material
- Durable construction for demanding environments
- Suitable for a variety of compatible fluids
- Compact valve profile
- Stainless steel wing handle
Quarter-Turn Operation
Open Position
When the wing handle is aligned with the valve flow path, the valve is generally in the open position.
Closed Position
A 90-degree rotation of the wing handle moves the internal ball to the closed position for shutoff.
Female x Female Connection
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male NPT piping component for a compact threaded connection.
Female NPT Outlet
The outlet accepts a second compatible male NPT component, creating a straight-through threaded valve connection.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Equipment Applications
- Industrial equipment
- OEM assemblies
- Instrumentation systems
- Laboratory systems
- Equipment isolation points
General Fluid Service
- Water systems
- Compressed air
- Oil service
- Fuel applications where compatible
- Compact threaded piping assemblies
Wing Handle vs. Standard Lever Handle
Wing Handle
A low-profile wing handle requires minimal operating clearance and is useful where surrounding piping, panels, or equipment limit available space.
Standard Lever Handle
A conventional extended lever handle provides additional leverage but typically requires more clearance for full quarter-turn operation.
Mini Ball Valve vs. Standard Ball Valve
Mini Ball Valve
A mini ball valve uses a compact body and shorter overall profile, making it useful where available installation space is limited.
Standard Ball Valve
A standard ball valve typically has a larger body and handle arrangement and may offer additional configurations or service options depending on the valve design.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What does F x F mean?
F x F indicates that the valve has female threaded connections on both ends.
What is the working pressure rating?
The supplied product information lists a maximum working pressure of 1000 PSI at ambient temperature. Pressure capability may vary with operating temperature.
What type of valve is this?
This is a compact stainless steel mini ball valve designed for quarter-turn flow shutoff.
What material is the valve body made from?
The supplied product information identifies the valve body as stainless steel.
What type of threads does the valve use?
The valve uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
How does the valve operate?
The valve uses a low-profile wing handle and quarter-turn operation to move between open and closed positions.
Why use a wing handle?
The compact wing handle requires less operating clearance than a traditional extended lever handle, making it useful in confined installations.
What media can this valve be used with?
The supplied information identifies water, air, oil, fuel, and other compatible media. Always verify compatibility with the valve body, internal components, and seat materials before use.
Is this valve intended for throttling?
Ball valves are generally best suited for full-open or full-closed service rather than continuous throttling unless specifically approved for that use by the manufacturer.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate PTFE thread sealant or thread tape when permitted by the application and manufacturer recommendations.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the required thread size, female x female configuration, media compatibility, working pressure, operating temperature, and available installation space before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland stainless steel 1000# mini ball valve with Female x Female NPT threaded connections.
- Confirm the required nominal connection size before ordering.
- Verify NPT thread compatibility with both mating components.
- Maximum working pressure is listed as 1000 PSI at ambient temperature.
- Pressure capability may vary as operating temperature changes.
- Confirm stainless steel and internal valve material compatibility with the intended process media.
- Use an appropriate PTFE thread sealant or thread tape where permitted.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the valve body, threads, or connected components.
- Apply installation torque to the appropriate valve body area rather than using the wing handle as leverage.
- Confirm adequate clearance for full quarter-turn wing handle operation.
- Ball valves are generally intended for full-open or full-closed service unless specifically approved for throttling.
- Confirm applicable pressure, temperature, media, thread, and project requirements before installation.
