Midland Industries 947418 Angle Globe Valve 2in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 947418 is a 2-inch nominal angle globe valve designed for low-pressure fluid control applications. It features female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ports and is operated by a cross handle, giving technicians a reliable grip for manual open and close cycles. The angle body configuration redirects flow 90 degrees, making it a practical choice where straight inline valve placement is not possible. At 2.07 pounds, it is a compact yet solid-duty valve suited for plumbing and mechanical system service work performed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This valve is intended for low-pressure service lines in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The angle globe design is commonly installed at fixture supply points, equipment isolation points, or anywhere a 90-degree flow path change is needed alongside manual shutoff capability. The FPT end connections allow direct threaded makeup to standard male-threaded pipe or fittings. It is appropriate for service by journeyman and master plumbers working on supply-side piping systems.

• 2-inch nominal size with female pipe thread (FPT) connections for standard threaded pipe makeup

• Cross handle operator provides positive manual control and easy identification of valve position
• Rated for low-pressure service, suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing lines

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the supply line and relieve system pressure completely before removing any existing valve or making threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup, and tighten to appropriate engagement without over-torquing the FPT connections. Verify for leaks at full system operating pressure before returning the line to service.
