Midland Industries 9650EX2372 Butterfly Valve Stem Extension

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650EX2372 is a butterfly valve stem extension designed to provide added shaft reach for butterfly valve actuators and handles in applications where direct access to the valve stem is limited or obstructed. Built from ductile iron with a black finish, this extension measures 72 inches in length and is sized for 2 to 3 inch nominal butterfly valves. It allows operators and technicians to actuate valves remotely, reducing the need for confined-space access in tight mechanical rooms, buried installations, or deep valve pits. This component is typically installed by plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors working on commercial or industrial piping systems.

This stem extension is suited for use in commercial and industrial environments where butterfly valves are installed in locations that require extended reach for manual or actuated operation. Typical scenarios include underground vault installations, below-slab piping, and equipment rooms where valve handles or actuators cannot be mounted directly on the valve body. The 72 inch length provides substantial reach for deep or remote valve placement in 2 to 3 inch nominal line sizes.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in demanding piping environments
• 72 inch length provides extended reach for hard-to-access valve locations
• Compatible with 2 to 3 inch nominal butterfly valves
• Black finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• Designed as a direct-fit stem extension requiring no field fabrication

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2 to 3 inch butterfly valves as stated by the manufacturer. Verify stem drive profile and connection dimensions against the installed valve before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Shut off flow and depressurize the line before servicing or connecting any valve extension components. Confirm that the stem extension drive profile matches the butterfly valve stem before assembly. Secure all connections fully before returning the system to service.
