Midland Industries 948172T Tee Handle Ball Valve 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 948172T is a 1/2-inch tee handle ball valve built for reliable shutoff in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features an MPT x FPT connection, a brass body with a brass ball and brass stem, and a PTFE seat and seal for low-friction operation. Rated at 600 psi WOG, it handles service conditions from -20 degrees F to 300 degrees F. The steel tee handle provides a firm grip for manual actuation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in residential and light commercial supply lines, compressed air systems, and industrial plumbing applications.

This valve is suited for male-to-female threaded installations in 1/2-inch pipe runs where a full-port ball valve shutoff is required. The 1/2-14 thread size is standard NPT. The compact body measures 3.05 inches in length and 2.1 inches in width, allowing installation in tight spaces. PTFE packing and a PTFE seal keep the valve service-ready across a wide temperature range. Note that this valve contains lead; consult applicable local codes before installing in potable water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes.
