Midland Industries 941157LFTMS Lead Free Brass Ball Valve

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 941157LFTMS is a lead-free brass ball valve with 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) connections on both ends. Ball valves provide full-port, quarter-turn shutoff for liquid and gas service lines, making them a standard choice for isolation duty in plumbing and mechanical systems. The lead-free construction meets safe-drinking-water compliance requirements, making this valve suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve during new construction, retrofit work, and system service where a reliable, low-maintenance shutoff is required.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded FIP connection is specified. Typical installations include water supply mains, branch lines, boiler isolation, and mechanical room piping. The 1-1/2 inch pipe size handles the flow demands common in main distribution lines and larger branch circuits. Its brass body holds up well in wet environments and resists corrosion in standard water service conditions.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe-drinking-water standards for potable water service
• 1-1/2 inch FIP threaded connections on both ends for standard pipe fitting
• Quarter-turn ball valve design provides quick, positive shutoff
• Brass body resists corrosion in water and mechanical piping applications
• Full-port design minimizes flow restriction when valve is open

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1-1/2 inch FIP threaded plumbing and mechanical piping systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Use thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service on all male threads before making up the joint. Do not use pipe wrenches on the valve body itself — apply force to the wrench flats on the end connections to avoid distorting the valve.
