Midland Industries 940302 Pvc Ball Valve 4 Inch Socket X Socket

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 940302 is a 4-inch nominal, full-port PVC ball valve designed for isolation and flow control in plumbing and industrial fluid systems. The valve features a quarter-turn handle operator for fast shutoff and a Schedule 40 PVC body rated at 150 psi at 73 degrees F. An EPDM seal provides resistance to a broad range of water-treatment chemicals and general-service fluids. The white PVC body resists corrosion and is well suited for applications where metal valves would degrade. At 7.62 pounds, this is a substantial, full-size valve intended for professional installation.

This valve is applied in residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation infrastructure, water treatment, and chemical-handling lines where PVC piping is already in use. The socket-by-socket (slip) end connections are compatible with Schedule 40 PVC pipe and standard solvent-cement joining methods. Its full-port bore minimizes flow restriction, making it appropriate for main line isolation duties rather than throttling service.

Key Features

• Full-port design maintains maximum flow area with minimal pressure drop
• Quarter-turn lever operator enables rapid open or close actuation
• 150 psi pressure rating at 73 degrees F for standard Schedule 40 PVC service
• EPDM seals provide chemical compatibility with chlorinated water and common process fluids
• Socket x socket (slip) ends accept solvent-cement joining to SCH 40 PVC pipe
• Corrosion-resistant white PVC body eliminates rust and galvanic compatibility concerns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 4-inch nominal socket connections joined with standard solvent cement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut down system pressure and drain the line completely before cutting in or replacing any valve. Solvent-cement joints require proper primer and cement rated for PVC Schedule 40 pipe; allow full cure time before pressurizing. Do not exceed the rated pressure or temperature limits of the valve body.
