Midland Industries 9650L2.5SE Butterfly Valve 2-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650L2.5SE is a wafer-style butterfly valve with a 2-1/2 inch nominal bore, designed for inline flow control in commercial and industrial piping systems. The valve body is constructed from ductile iron, the disc from stainless steel, and the seat from EPDM elastomer, making it suitable for a range of fluid handling applications. A lever handle operator provides direct manual actuation. Weighing 8.36 pounds, the flangeless wafer design installs between two flanges without a dedicated valve body flange, reducing face-to-face dimensions and installation cost.

This valve is used in mechanical, plumbing, and process piping systems where a compact, lightweight shutoff or throttling valve is required. The wafer-style configuration fits between standard pipe flanges, making it a common choice for HVAC chilled and hot water loops, industrial fluid systems, and commercial mechanical rooms. A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically handles installation in regulated piping systems.

Key Features

• 2-1/2 inch nominal flangeless wafer-style body for compact between-flange installation
• Ductile iron body provides strength and impact resistance in demanding service conditions
• Stainless steel disc offers corrosion resistance across a broad range of fluid media
• EPDM seat delivers reliable sealing and compatibility with water and many water-treatment chemicals
• Lever handle operator allows direct manual actuation with a visible open and closed indication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wafer butterfly valve for standard flangeless piping configurations at 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any valve. The wafer body must be centered carefully between flanges and supported so flange bolt load is distributed evenly across the valve body. Verify EPDM seat compatibility with the specific fluid media before placing the valve in service.
