Midland Industries Rod Cutters

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 9600IPA412 is a vertical post indicator designed for use with ductile iron gate valves in fire protection and industrial water supply systems. The unit features a ductile iron body for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in buried or exposed applications. A telescoping operating rod accommodates a nominal pipe range of 4 to 14 inches, making it adaptable across a wide range of gate valve installations. This type of assembly is typically installed by licensed fire protection contractors, plumbers, and mechanical contractors working on underground or above-grade valve systems. Vertical post indicators are used on outside stem and yoke gate valves in fire suppression supply mains, municipal water distribution systems, and industrial process piping. The post indicator allows visual confirmation of valve position - open or shut - from a distance, without requiring direct access to the valve itself. This 9600IPA412 is suited for both new construction and retrofit applications where a nominal 4 to 14 inch valve is already in service or being installed.
