Midland Industries 940134C Full-port Gate Valve 1 Inch Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 940134C is a full-port brass gate valve designed for isolation service in plumbing, gas distribution, and oil supply lines. It features a 1-inch FPT (female pipe thread) connection and is rated at 200 psi WOG, making it suitable for cold water, gas, and oil media across a wide temperature range of 32 to 320 degrees F. The non-rising stem design keeps the valve compact in tight spaces, while the PTFE seat ensures a reliable, low-friction seal. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve in both residential and light commercial applications.

This valve is well suited for inline shutoff service on water supply lines, natural gas piping, and fuel oil systems. The full-port design minimizes flow restriction when the valve is fully open, which is important in applications where pressure drop needs to be kept low. At 2.13 inches inlet to outlet and 3.60 inches top to inlet center, it fits in standard piping layouts without special accommodation. The crown handle provides a clear open/closed indication and easy hand operation without tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for the media being handled. Shut off the upstream supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing this valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads before engagement, and tighten to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended number of turns without over-torquing the brass body. For gas service, verify the completed assembly with an approved leak-detection method before restoring supply.
