Midland Industries Ball Valves

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 948174L is a 1-inch brass ball valve with a locking handle, designed for manual shutoff and flow control in plumbing and fluid handling systems. Rated at 600 psi WOG (water, oil, gas), it is built for demanding service conditions with a temperature range of -20 to 300 degrees F. The valve features a brass body, brass ball, brass stem, and PTFE seat, seal, and packing for reliable sealing performance. The locking handle prevents accidental actuation, making it well suited for installations where unauthorized or unintentional operation is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. This valve is configured for male pipe thread (MPT) inlet to female pipe thread (FPT) outlet with a 1-11-1/2 thread size, covering standard NPT connections at 1-inch nominal pipe size. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial fluid systems where a compact, full-port locking ball valve is required. The 3-inch inlet-to-outlet body length fits standard valve locations in tight mechanical spaces.
