Midland Industries 40074-12 Stop Valve 3/4 Inch Compression

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 40074-12 is a 3/4-inch nominal stop valve with compression-style end connections. Stop valves are used to isolate a section of piping or a fixture, allowing service or replacement without shutting down an entire system. This valve is a standard shutoff fitting suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The compression connection style requires no soldering, making it compatible with copper tubing and appropriate for applications where an open flame is not practical or permitted. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of valve in supply-line applications.

This stop valve is commonly installed on supply lines serving sinks, lavatories, toilets, water heaters, and similar fixtures where a local shutoff point is required. The 3/4-inch nominal size fits standard 3/4-inch copper or compatible tubing runs. It is appropriate for residential potable water systems and light commercial plumbing where a reliable, tool-accessible shutoff is needed at the point of use or at branch connections.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch nominal compression connections - no soldering required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation stop valve for 3/4-inch nominal compression plumbing connections in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. Compression fittings must be seated squarely and tightened to a snug fit - overtightening can crack the ferrule or distort the tubing. Inspect the compression nut, ferrule, and tubing end for damage before completing the connection.
