Apollo 73A‑106‑01 1¼″ 1500 lb Carbon Steel Ball Valve

Apollo 73A‑106‑01 1¼″ Carbon Steel Ball Valve is a robust, forged FNPT valve rated 1500 psi CWP with RPTFE seats, blow‑out‑proof stem, and vacuum-rated—perfect for industrial pipelines.

Description

Apollo 73A‑106‑01 1¼″ Carbon Steel Ball Valve is a high-performance ball valve crafted for demanding industrial use. This Apollo 73A‑106‑01 1¼″ Carbon Steel Ball Valve features a forged A105 carbon-steel body and a durable chrome-plated A108 steel ball, combined with RPTFE seats and MPTFE packing for reliable sealing and operation—even under pressure up to 1500 psi CWP.

As part of the Apollo 73A‑100 Series, it offers FNPT connections and a standard-port design. It’s rated for 150 psi saturated steam and can handle vacuum service down to 29 in Hg, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial applications.

The valve includes a blow-out-proof stem and adjustable packing gland for added safety and serviceability. A steel lever with a vinyl grip and zinc-phosphate coating provides robust manual operation and corrosion resistance. Raised handle stops protect internal components during use.

With a compact footprint (3.97″ length, 2.72″ centerline height) and weight at approximately 3.74 lb, the Apollo 73A‑106‑01 integrates neatly into piping systems without excess bulk.
