Apollo 70103HC Bronze Ball Valve
This Apollo 70103HC bronze ball valve is a manual two-way shut-off component built for steam, water, oil and gas lines. It suits plumbers, maintenance engineers and facility managers who need a straight-pattern, lever-operated valve with standard-port flow. The two-piece bronze body and bronze ball provide corrosion resistance in commercial and industrial piping systems.
Sustained-pressure behaviour
Rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 psi steam service, the valve maintains seal integrity during continuous duty without the pressure spikes that can unseat lesser designs. A vacuum rating of 29 in Hg confirms reliable closure under negative pressure, while the non-locking lever allows quick manual operation when flow must be stopped or redirected under load.
1/2 in nominal size with FNPT x hose-cap ends
The 1/2 in nominal bore and female NPT inlet paired with a 3/4 in hose-cap outlet dictate exactly which pipework this valve fits. Buyers needing a different port arrangement, a locking handle or a full-port flow path must select another model.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the 70103HC generate during continuous operation?
The 70103HC is a manual bronze ball valve with no moving electrical parts, so it produces no heat or noise of its own during all-day use.
What existing piping does the 70103HC require to install and operate?
You need a 1/2 inch female NPT connection on the supply side and a 3/4 inch hose fitting on the outlet side to match the valve's inline straight body.
Will the 70103HC handle steam lines at the same 600 psi rating as air or water?
No, the valve is rated for 150 psi maximum steam pressure, which is lower than the 600 psi operating limit for non-steam media.
