Midland Industries 46762 Angle Micro-metering Valve 1/4 Mpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46762 is a brass angle micro-metering valve designed for precise low-flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems. The angle-body configuration redirects flow 90 degrees while the needle-style stem provides fine throttling control, making this valve well suited for applications where small, repeatable flow adjustments are required. The 1/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet and outlet connections allow straightforward integration into existing threaded assemblies. Brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and durability in typical trade plumbing and HVAC environments. This valve is domestically sourced and stocked in single-unit quantities.

Angle micro-metering valves like the 46762 are commonly installed in residential and light commercial systems where a technician needs to meter gas, air, water, or other compatible media at low flow rates. Typical applications include pilot line control, instrument isolation, laboratory gas distribution, HVAC pneumatic controls, and anywhere fine-tune shutoff is needed inline with a direction change. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation tradespeople are the primary installers of this fitting type.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded brass needle valve applications requiring 1/4-inch MPT x MPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, or instrumentation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant to the media being controlled. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service media to all MPT connections before making up the joint. Do not overtighten brass threaded fittings, as this can crack the valve body.
