Apollo 70‑104‑27 locking ball valve 3/4″ 600 psi

Apollo 70‑104‑27 locking ball valve 3/4″ 600 psi – bronze FNPT two‑piece valve with stainless‑steel latch‑lock lever for safe high‑pressure shutoff.

Description

Apollo 70‑104‑27 locking ball valve 3/4″ 600 psi is a premium-quality bronze ball valve engineered for reliable fluid control in industrial and commercial settings. Designed as part of Apollo’s widely trusted 70‑100 series, this model features a durable cast bronze body, RPTFE seats, and an SS latch‑lock lever that ensures secure shutoff and compliance with lockout/tagout safety protocols.

With a working pressure rating of 600 psi for water/oil/gas and 150 psi for saturated steam, the Apollo 70‑104‑27 locking ball valve 3/4″ 600 psi is optimized for high-demand environments. Its vacuum rating down to 29 in Hg makes it versatile across pressure regimes, while the blow‑out proof stem and corrosion-resistant materials guarantee long-term performance.

Manufactured in Apollo’s South Carolina facility, this valve meets MSS SP‑110 standards and complies with Federal Specification WW‑V‑35C Type II, Style 3. It features a chromium‑plated brass ball and MPTFE stem packing, along with PTFE body seals for excellent chemical compatibility and resistance to wear. The latch‑lock lever is secured by a stainless‑steel nut to prevent unintentional opening.
