Midland Industries 46100 Shut-off Cock 1/4x1/8 Flared X Mip Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46100 is a forged brass shut-off cock designed for gas and fluid control applications in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems. It features a 1/4 x 1/8 inch nominal connection with a male flared inlet and a male iron pipe (MIP) outlet. The body is forged brass for durability and pressure integrity, and the brass handle operator allows for quick manual shutoff. Rated to 30 psi, this fitting is domestically sourced and suited for use by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians requiring a reliable inline shutoff in tight or low-pressure service lines.

This shut-off cock is used where an inline manual shutoff is needed between a flared tubing connection and a threaded pipe fitting. Typical applications include gas appliance service lines, refrigeration tubing connections, and low-pressure fluid systems in residential and light commercial settings. The flare-to-MIP configuration is common in natural gas and LP service work where copper or aluminum tubing meets a threaded pipe assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off all upstream supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing this fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for gas service on the MIP threads and verify the flare connection is properly formed and seated before pressurizing. After installation, leak-test all connections before returning the system to service.
