Midland Industries Regulating Valves

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46045 is a brass-body needle valve designed for precise flow control in low-to-medium pressure fluid and gas lines. Rated to 150 psi and capable of handling temperatures from -45 to 250 degrees F, this valve suits a wide range of HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing service applications. The 1/4 inch male flared x male flared connection with a 7/16-20 thread size allows direct inline installation without additional adapters. A steel pin handle operator provides accurate throttling control. The compact design measures 1.48 inches from inlet to outlet, making it practical in tight service installations. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for common refrigerants and refrigeration oils. Licensed trade professionals performing system service work are the primary installers of this valve. This needle valve is used in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems where inline flow restriction or shutoff of refrigerant, oil, or other compatible media is required. Its male flared x male flared configuration makes it a direct-inline fitting, commonly installed on refrigerant line sets, charging manifold connections, and service ports. The -45 to 250 degrees F temperature range supports standard refrigerant operating conditions. Note: this part contains lead and should be used in compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations regarding lead-containing components. Key Features Brass body construction for…
