Midland Industries 20885C 8mm Flow Control Valve Ptc

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20885C is an in-line flow control valve designed for push-to-connect tubing systems using 8 mm nominal tubing. The composite body construction keeps weight low while providing resistance to corrosion in fluid and pneumatic service. Rated to 150 psi, this valve allows technicians to regulate or shut off flow without threaded connections, relying instead on push-to-connect fittings on both ends for fast, tool-minimal installation. At 0.085 pounds, it is compact enough for tight plumbing runs in panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, or inline service positions. HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service technicians install this valve where inline flow adjustment or isolation is needed on metric tubing lines.

This valve is suited for light commercial and residential applications where 8 mm push-to-connect tubing is already in use. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, fluid transfer systems, and equipment plumbing where a compact inline valve is required. The push-to-connect ends on both the inlet and outlet simplify integration into existing metric tubing runs without additional adapters. Its metric sizing makes it particularly applicable in systems that use European-standard tubing or imported equipment with 8 mm line sets.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on both ends for tool-minimal, fast installation on 8 mm tubing
• 150 psi pressure rating for pneumatic and fluid service
• Composite body construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight
• Compact footprint: 2.15 inches long, 1.4 inches wide, 0.75 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.085 pounds, suitable for tight or panel-mounted installations
• Metric 8 mm nominal sizing for compatibility with metric tubing systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline flow control valve for push-to-connect systems using 8 mm nominal metric tubing in pneumatic or fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Shut off system pressure and bleed any residual pressure from the line before removing or installing this valve. Push-to-connect fittings require clean, square-cut tubing ends seated fully into the fitting collar to achieve a proper seal. Confirm the tubing outer diameter matches the 8 mm nominal rating before installation. This valve should be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing or pneumatic system codes.
