Press Connection 3/4 Inch Bronze Check Valve
This Apollo 61LF10401PR valve uses a press-to-connect design on both ends for 3/4 inch tubing, eliminating the need for threading or soldering during installation. The lead-free bronze body and RPTFE seat suit potable water systems, while the EPDM seal handles temperatures from 33 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. A 316 stainless steel spring holds the inline ball cone closed until flow exceeds the 0.5 psi cracking pressure.
Verify Tubing Compatibility and Pressure Rating
Before ordering, confirm that your piping is rated for press fittings and matches the 3/4 inch size, as the valve will not seal on threaded or sweat connections. The body is rated for 250 psi water pressure and 15 psi steam, so the rest of the circuit must stay within those limits. Ensure the mounting orientation allows the ball cone to move freely in either horizontal or vertical runs.
Sustained Flow Behaviour and Spring Fatigue
Under continuous operation the ball cone remains fully open, giving a straight-through path that minimises pressure drop compared with swing-check designs. The 316 stainless steel spring resists corrosion and maintains its 0.5 psi return force over long duty cycles, preventing chatter when flow reverses. EPDM seals retain elasticity at the 180 degree upper limit, reducing the risk of weepage during extended hot-water service.

Questions about this item
Does the Apollo 61LF10401PR check valve include any extra fittings or tools for the press connection?
The valve is supplied as the body only; press fittings, tubing and the press tool required for the Press x Press ends are sold separately.
Which cracking-pressure version of the Apollo 61LF10401PR should I select for a low-head water system?
This model has a fixed cracking pressure of .5 psi, which is the only version offered for the 3/4 in Press x Press configuration.
What does the 250 psi water-pressure rating mean when the valve is installed in a domestic hot-water line?
It indicates the valve body and seat are tested to withstand up to 250 psi at 180 Degrees F, well above typical household supply pressures.
