1/2 in. CPVC Ball Valve
1/2 in. CPVC Ball Valve
Overview
The Midland Industries 940281 is a 1/2 in. CPVC ball valve molded in CPVC for low-pressure water, hot/cold supply, and chemical-handling lines. It uses Slip x Slip (socket) end connections, a full port, and EPDM seals, and is rated to 150 psi at 73°F (cold water). A quarter-turn handle gives quick, visible open/close indication for manual shutoff and isolation duty.

Typical Applications
This valve suits hot and cold water supply lines, irrigation and sprinkler manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical-feed or dosing lines where a corrosion-proof, low-pressure shutoff is needed. CPVC resists most acids, bases, and salt solutions and tolerates higher temperatures than standard PVC, but is not rated for steam or compressed air.
