Midland Industries 9650L46 Butterfly Valve Lever Handle

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650L46 is a replacement lever handle designed for use with 4-inch to 6-inch butterfly valves. Constructed from malleable iron, this handle delivers the durability and mechanical strength required in demanding trade applications. It is a direct replacement component intended to restore full manual operation to butterfly valves that have lost or damaged their original handle. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of hardware during valve maintenance or system repair on water, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling systems.

This lever handle is suited for residential and commercial applications where 4-inch to 6-inch butterfly valves are installed. Common install scenarios include mechanical rooms, rooftop HVAC systems, boiler rooms, and industrial piping runs where manual shutoff or flow-control valves require periodic handle replacement. It is a maintenance-grade component that restores operational control without requiring full valve replacement.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement lever handle for 4-inch to 6-inch butterfly valves. Confirm handle-to-stem interface compatibility with the specific valve model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off flow and depressurize the line before removing the existing handle or servicing the valve. Verify that the stem drive profile of the replacement handle matches the butterfly valve stem before finalizing installation. Follow applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements for valve accessibility and service clearances.
