Midland Industries Butterfly Valves

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9650EX4672 is a butterfly valve stem extension designed to increase the distance between a butterfly valve operator and the valve body. Built from ductile iron with a black finish, this extension measures 72 inches in length and is rated for 4 to 6 inch nominal butterfly valves. It allows valve handles, gear operators, or actuators to be positioned at a more accessible location, which is especially useful in buried, submerged, or confined-space installations. This component is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial mechanical contractors working on water, wastewater, HVAC, or process piping systems. This stem extension is suited for use in both commercial and industrial piping applications where direct access to the valve operator is restricted or impractical. Typical scenarios include valve boxes, vaults, deep-set piping, and installations where the valve body is set below grade or behind a wall. It pairs with standard 4 to 6 inch butterfly valves where extended reach to the operator is required to meet accessibility or code requirements. Key Features Ductile iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in demanding piping environments 72 inch length accommodates deep-set or difficult-to-reach valve installations Rated for 4 to 6 inch nominal butterfly valves for broad fitment across common pipe sizes Black finish for corrosion resistance and standard industrial appearance Designed as a direct…
