Apollo 70-103-41 1/2" FNPT Bronze Ball Valve

SKU CH-MKV7-4ZY9W

  • Bronze body resists corrosion in steam and gas lines
  • Chrome-plated ball ensures smooth operation and long seal life
  • Lever handle gives quick quarter-turn shut-off without tools
  • Rated for 600 psi working pressure and 150 psi steam service
  • Vacuum service rated to 29 in Hg for evacuation tasks

Product Identity

The Apollo 70-103-41 is a 1/2 inch FNPT bronze ball valve designed for inline flow control. It suits installers needing a two-piece, straight-body valve rated for steam, air and vacuum service. The standard-port, chrome-plated bronze ball handles operating pressures up to 600 psi and steam pressures up to 150 psi.

Suitability

This valve fits systems requiring a vacuum rating of 29 in Hg and a non-locking lever handle for manual two-way operation. It is not for buyers who need a locking handle, a three-piece construction or a full-port design for unrestricted flow. The product also carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm, so it is unsuitable for projects that prohibit such materials.

Decisive Specification

The maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and steam rating of 150 psi are the critical figures that determine whether this valve matches the system requirements. Verifying these limits against the intended application ensures safe and compliant installation.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1/2 inch FNPT version or another size?

This model is the 1/2 inch FNPT version; other sizes carry different model numbers so select the one that matches your piping.

What does the 600 psi operating pressure mean once the valve is installed?

The valve handles up to 600 psi for general service and 150 psi for steam, so your system pressure must stay within those limits.

How does the FNPT connection affect what pipe I can use?

The FNPT threads accept standard 1/2 inch male NPT pipe fittings for a direct threaded joint.
