Apollo 72‑103‑01A ball valve – ½″ carbon steel full‑port 3000 lb

Apollo 72‑103‑01A ball valve is a ½″ full‑port carbon steel valve rated 3000 psi CWP with FNPT ends and lever handle.

Description

Apollo 72‑103‑01A ball valve is a rugged, high-pressure solution from the 72‑100‑A Series, delivering exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications. With a ½″ nominal size and matching ½″ FNPT threaded ends, the full‑port design supports up to 3000 psi cold working pressure (CWP) and 150 psi saturated steam (SWP) while maintaining flow efficiency and leak-tight operation.

H2 Features

Forged carbon steel body (ASTM A105/A108) built for strength and reliability
Full‑port design provides maximum flow and minimal pressure drop (Cv ≈ 26)
Chrome-plated carbon steel ball and stem, with RPTFE (MPTFE) seat and packing for enhanced sealing
Zinc phosphate external corrosion protection and heavy-duty lever handle with vinyl grip
Blow-out‑proof stem and reinforced seats, meeting MSS SP‑110 standard
Steam rated to 150 psi, vacuum-capable to 29 in Hg, fire-safe by design (requires ‑24 suffix)

OEM and maintenance use where minimal flow restriction is critical

H2 Installation Tips

Use proper PTFE or thread sealant on FNPT threads.
Install lever handle in accessible orientation for full 90° actuation.
Open slowly under pressure to reduce water hammer in steam or liquid lines.
Inspect packing gland and seats periodically for maintenance.
For fire-safe use, order with “‑24” suffix and confirm certification.
