Midland Industries 46801 Panel Style Angle Needle Valve

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46801 is a panel style angle needle valve designed for precise flow control in fluid and gas systems. Built with a brass body, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in a compact form factor suited to panel-mount installations. The valve features female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ports with a 1/4-18 thread size, making it a straightforward threaded installation. Weighing 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight component appropriate for tight spaces where panel mounting is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically specify this valve where fine throttling control and a right-angle flow path are needed in a permanently mounted position.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid handling applications where a panel-mountable angle configuration is required. The angle body design redirects flow 90 degrees, simplifying routing in confined enclosures or control panels. The FPT x FPT connection type allows direct threaded engagement with standard male-threaded pipe or fittings on both the inlet and outlet sides.

Key Features

• Panel style angle body - mounts directly to a panel for a clean, fixed installation
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and HVAC service
• 1/4-18 FPT x 1/4-18 FPT thread configuration on both ports
• Needle valve design provides precise, fine-throttle flow control
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds - suitable for space-constrained enclosures
• Domestic manufacture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install brass angle needle valve for 1/4 in FPT threaded plumbing, HVAC, and fluid control systems requiring panel-mount capability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the upstream supply and depressurize the line before threading this valve into place. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads being engaged, not to the valve ports themselves. Do not overtighten the threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
