Apollo 70-106-01 bronze ball valve 1.25″ 600 psi

Description

Apollo 70-106-01 bronze ball valve 1.25 600 psi is a heavy-duty, two-piece bronze valve designed for high-performance fluid shutoff in water, steam, oil, and gas applications. With a pressure rating of 600 psi for cold working pressure (WOG) and 150 psi for saturated steam, this FNPT threaded valve is a top choice for industrial maintenance teams, OEMs, and facility engineers seeking reliability and safety.

This valve belongs to Apollo’s renowned 70-100 Series and includes a blowout-proof stem, a chrome-plated brass ball, and reinforced RPTFE seats that resist corrosion, pressure, and high temperatures. It features female NPT (FNPT) threads for fast installation into most piping systems and offers a compact profile suitable for tight spaces.

One of the key safety advantages of the Apollo 70-106-01 bronze ball valve 1.25 600 psi is its adjustable MPTFE stem packing and stainless-steel lever handle with vinyl grip. The stem design prevents ejection under pressure while maintaining smooth operation even after thousands of cycles. The valve is vacuum rated up to 29 in Hg and has a wide temperature range from –20°F to 500°F (–29°C to 260°C).
