Midland Industries 46411 Solid Bottom Valve 1/4 in Fip Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46411 is a solid bottom valve designed for truck and drum applications where a low-profile, leak-tight shutoff is required at the base of a container or manifold. Built with a brass body, this valve handles pressures up to 30 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 to 250 degrees F. The 1/4-18 threaded FIP x FIP connections suit standard pipe fittings, and the 360-degree rotation design allows the outlet to be oriented to the installer's preferred direction. It is rated for use with propane, making it a reliable choice for LP gas drum and cylinder assemblies. Plumbers, gas fitters, and fluid-system technicians handle installation of this type of valve.

The 46411 is used in truck drum and portable cylinder setups that require a bottom-mount shutoff valve. Its compact footprint - 1.9 inches tall, 1.75 inches in length, and 2.15 inches wide - fits in tight mounting positions typical of drum bases and manifold blocks. The propane rating and brass construction make it appropriate for LP gas distribution systems in both mobile and stationary configurations. This valve is a domestically sourced component suited to professional plumbing and gas piping assemblies where a durable, corrosion-resistant shutoff is needed at the supply point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing this valve. Apply an approved thread sealant rated for propane service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; follow fitting manufacturer torque guidance and verify with a leak-detection solution after pressurization.
