Apollo 61LF10201 3/8" FNPT Check Valve

This Apollo 61LF10201 check valve uses an inline ball-cone mechanism inside a lead-free bronze body. It connects via 3/8 inch FNPT threads on both ends. The valve suits plumbing systems that need automatic backflow prevention in a compact fitting.

Pressure and temperature limits

The valve handles up to 400 psi water pressure and 125 psi steam pressure. Operating temperature ranges from 33 to 180 degrees F. Cracking pressure is .5 psi. EPDM seals and an RPTFE seat handle these conditions. Stainless steel spring returns the cone.

Flow rate decides fit

Rated flow is 1.21 gpm through the 3/8 inch ports. Systems demanding higher volume need a larger valve. Horizontal or vertical mounting works. California Proposition 65 warnings apply. Buyers needing greater capacity should select a different size.
