Midland Industries 9650L6 Butterfly Valve 6 Inch Flangeless

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650L6 is a wafer-style butterfly valve designed for flow control in industrial and commercial piping systems. Built with a ductile iron body and ductile iron disc, this valve delivers structural durability across a range of general-service applications. The Buna-N seat provides a reliable seal suitable for water and many common fluid services. A lever handle operator allows for manual quarter-turn actuation, making operation straightforward and direct. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this valve where a compact, flangeless design is required between existing flanges.

This valve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where a 6-inch nominal wafer-style butterfly valve is required. The flangeless wafer body fits between standard pipe flanges without requiring a flanged valve end, keeping installation compact and cost-effective. Typical install scenarios include HVAC chilled or condenser water systems, general water distribution lines, and process piping where manual isolation or throttling is needed at 6-inch pipe runs.

Key Features

• Ductile iron body and disc for durability in general-service piping applications
• Buna-N seat material provides a resilient seal for water and compatible fluid services
• Wafer-style flangeless design fits between standard pipe flanges for compact installation
• 6-inch nominal size accommodates common commercial and industrial pipe runs
• Lever handle operator enables quick quarter-turn manual actuation
• Black finish on lever handle assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wafer butterfly valve for use in 6-inch nominal flangeless piping configurations in commercial and industrial flow-control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before installing or removing the valve. Ensure flange bolts are drawn evenly to compress the Buna-N seat uniformly and prevent seat distortion. Do not use this valve in fluid services incompatible with ductile iron or Buna-N elastomers without verifying chemical compatibility first.
