Midland Industries 9655L8 Butterfly Valve 8 Inch Wafer

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9655L8 is a wafer-style butterfly valve designed for flow control in commercial and industrial piping systems. Built with a ductile iron body and a Buna-N seat, this valve handles the mechanical demands of fluid service while maintaining a reliable seal. The flangeless wafer design sandwiches between standard pipe flanges, keeping installation compact and reducing overall system weight. A lever handle operator provides direct manual actuation without the need for gear operators or actuators. At 37.07 pounds, the 9655L8 is sized for serious line work and is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on 8-inch pipe runs.

This valve is suited for 8-inch nominal pipe installations in commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, HVAC hydronic systems, and water distribution applications. The wafer-style body fits between companion flanges and is a common choice wherever a low-profile shutoff or throttling valve is needed. The lever handle makes quarter-turn operation straightforward during commissioning, maintenance, or emergency isolation. The Buna-N seat material is compatible with water, many oils, and general industrial fluids, making this valve a practical choice across a range of service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing the valve. Verify flange bolt pattern, pressure rating, and seat material compatibility with the service fluid before installation. Do not exceed the rated operating parameters for the valve body and seat material.
