Industrial M082-218-42 Manual Valve 1/4 Inch NPT

The M082-218-42 Manual Valve is a manually operated valve with a 1/4 inch NPT threaded port, designed for inline flow control in configurations that use 1/4" NPT fittings. The model number (M082-218-42, also shown as M08221842) identifies a 1/4" port variant within this valve family. Compatible with standard 1/4" NPT piping, it provides hand-operated control for on/off or throttling tasks in tight spaces where compact valve assemblies are needed. This valve is commonly used in industrial piping where manual actuation is preferred to isolate or meter flow without electrical or pneumatic actuation. For purchasers, verify that the 1/4" NPT port size matches your system fittings and that the valve's materials and pressure ratings suit the intended fluid and operating conditions. The 1/4" NPT port size is a widely used standard that facilitates compatibility with a broad range of fittings, unions, and adapters. The M082-218-42 designation identifies a specific port configuration within the line, making it straightforward to source matching accessories and replacements in compatible catalogs.
