Midland Industries Pressure Reducing Valves

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46038 is a 90-degree angle needle valve designed for precise flow control in low-to-medium pressure fluid and gas systems. It features a male flared inlet and male pipe thread (MPT) outlet in a 5/16 x 1/8 inch nominal configuration. The body is constructed from brass, with a steel handle and a pressed-on handle operator for positive shutoff. Rated to 150 psi, it handles temperatures from -45 to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of refrigeration, fuel, and HVAC service applications. Licensed tradespeople install this valve where an angled configuration is required to manage tight routing constraints. This angle needle valve is used in residential and light commercial applications involving refrigerant line sets, fuel gas tubing, or hydraulic service points where a 90-degree turn is needed at the connection point. The male flared x MPT end configuration is common in HVAC and refrigeration service, joining copper flare tubing to threaded pipe or equipment ports. The compact body dimensions make it well suited for installations with limited clearance around fittings and manifolds. Key Features 90-degree angle body routes flow around obstructions without additional elbows Male flared x MPT connection accepts 5/16 inch flare tubing on one end and 1/8 inch NPT on the other 150 psi pressure rating suitable for refrigeration and fuel service Operating temperature range of -45 to 250 degrees F Brass body with steel handle for durability in…
