Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Apollo 70-100 Series ball valve used for?
The Apollo 70-100 Series provides general-purpose on-off flow control in compatible commercial, industrial, mechanical, plumbing, and utility piping systems.
Does this valve have female NPT connections?
Yes. The standard 70-100 Series valve has female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
Is this a full port or standard port valve?
This is a standard port ball valve. The internal bore is smaller than the nominal pipe size and varies by valve size.
Does the standard valve include a locking handle?
No. The standard -01 configuration includes a zinc-plated steel lever with a vinyl grip. Locking and latch-lock handles are separate Apollo options and should not be assumed unless identified in the selected part number.
What is the pressure rating?
The Apollo 70-100 Series has a published rating of 600 PSIG cold working pressure and 150 PSIG steam working pressure.
What is the maximum temperature rating?
The maximum published temperature is 500°F. Allowable pressure can decrease as operating temperature increases, so review Apollo’s pressure-temperature chart for the selected trim and service conditions.
What sizes are available?
Standard product variations are available from 1/4" through 4" nominal pipe size.
Is this valve manufactured in the United States?
Yes. Apollo states that the 70-100 Series is cast and machined in its South Carolina manufacturing facilities.
Is this valve BAA and BABA compliant?
Yes. Apollo identifies the standard 70-100 Series as compliant with the Buy American Act and the Build America, Buy America Act.
Can this valve be used for steam?
Apollo publishes a maximum steam working pressure rating of 150 PSIG. Confirm the actual pressure, temperature, seat material, media, installation, and application requirements before use.
