Midland Industries 9650WH46 Wheel Handle Butterfly Valve

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650WH46 is a cast iron replacement wheel handle designed for operating butterfly valves in the 4 to 6 inch size range. It provides a manual actuation point for quarter-turn butterfly valves, allowing field technicians and pipefitters to open, close, or throttle flow by hand. Cast iron construction gives the handle durability in industrial and commercial piping environments. This type of gear wheel handle is a direct replacement component when an existing handle becomes damaged, corroded, or missing, restoring full manual operability without replacing the entire valve assembly.

This replacement wheel handle is suited for use with 4 to 6 inch butterfly valves in commercial and industrial piping systems. Typical installations include mechanical rooms, process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and water distribution lines where butterfly valves require manual operation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary trades that source and install this type of component during valve servicing or repair work.
