Midland Industries 40024-04 Brass Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Ips

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 40024-04 is a 1/4-inch brass ball valve with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) connections, designed for use in fluid and gas shutoff applications across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. The brass body construction offers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in standard service conditions. At 0.33 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight valve suited for tight-space installations. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This ball valve is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where a 1/4-inch IPS inline shutoff or isolation point is required. IPS threading makes it compatible with standard iron pipe size fittings common in supply lines, equipment connections, and utility branch lines. Its compact size allows installation in confined spaces where larger valves would not fit.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in standard plumbing and HVAC service
• 1/4-inch nominal size with IPS thread connections
• Quarter-turn ball valve design for fast shutoff and easy operation
• Lightweight at 0.33 pounds, suitable for compact or tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for standard 1/4-inch IPS threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on IPS threads. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
