Midland Industries 9610F8 Gate Valve 8 Inch Flanged 300 Psi

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9610F8 is a resilient seated gate valve designed for demanding industrial and municipal pipeline applications. Built with a ductile iron body rated to 300 psi, this 8-inch nominal valve features a flanged x flanged connection and an outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) rising stem configuration. The stainless steel stem and graphite packing deliver corrosion resistance and long-term sealing performance. A handwheel operator provides reliable manual actuation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this valve for water distribution, fire protection, and process piping systems where bubble-tight shutoff and visible stem position are required.

This valve is suited for 8-inch flanged pipeline installations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The OS&Y rising stem design provides a clear visual indication of open or closed position, making it appropriate for fire suppression systems where NFPA compliance requires observable valve status. The ductile iron body meets material standard A536 65-45-12, confirming the casting grade used in utility-grade and industrial pipeline service.

Key Features

• Flanged x flanged connection with 14-inch handwheel operator for manual actuation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style OS&Y resilient seated gate valve for 8-inch flanged pipeline systems in water distribution, fire protection, and industrial process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including the IPC and NFPA 13 where fire suppression service applies. Shut off and depressurize the pipeline fully before removing any existing valve or breaking flanged connections. Verify flange bolt pattern and gasket compatibility before installation. Do not use the handwheel as a lever or apply additional torque tools beyond hand-tight to avoid stem or seat damage.
