Midland Industries 940136 Brass Gate Valve 1-1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 940136 is a full-port brass gate valve rated for 200 psi WOG (water, oil, gas) service across a temperature range of 32 to 320 degrees F. It features a 1-1/2 inch nominal FPT x FPT connection, a non-rising stem design, and an all-brass body with a PTFE seat, cast brass stem, cast brass disc, and cast brass packing. The cast iron handle provides firm manual operation. At 2.19 pounds, this valve is well-suited for commercial and residential plumbing systems where a full-bore flow path is required to minimize pressure drop. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This valve is designed for inline shutoff service on cold water, gas, and oil lines where threaded connections are standard. The 1-1/2 inch FPT x FPT configuration makes it a direct fit for IPS-threaded pipe assemblies. The full-port bore maintains full line flow capacity when the valve is open. Inlet-to-outlet face length is 2.44 inches, and the top-to-inlet-center height is 5.08 inches, allowing planners to confirm clearance before installation in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Full-port bore minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop across the valve
• 200 psi WOG pressure rating for water, oil, and gas media
• Operating temperature range: 32 to 320 degrees F
• Non-rising stem design conserves vertical clearance in confined installations
• PTFE seat provides durable, low-friction sealing
• 1-1/2 inch FPT x FPT threaded connections for standard IPS pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 1-1/2 inch IPS-threaded plumbing systems carrying water, oil, or gas media within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing the valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per code requirements, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without over-torquing the brass body. Verify valve orientation and confirm the handle operates freely before returning the system to service.
