Two-Way Ball Valve for Air Systems
The Apollo 7020501 is a manual two-way ball valve built for air media. Its bronze body and chrome-plated bronze ball suit residential and light-commercial plumbing. A standard-port design with a lever handle gives direct on-off control without locking.
Pressure Limits and Vacuum Rating
The valve handles up to 600 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure. It holds a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg. Two-piece construction keeps internal flow paths simple for routine service.
Sweat Connection and Build Fit
Sweat ends join copper pipe directly, so the installer needs soldering equipment and flux. The straight body style keeps the run linear and avoids extra fittings. No combustible-gas rating means gas lines need a different valve.

Questions about this item
How do I sweat the 1 in bronze valve body without damaging the chrome-plated bronze ball?
Remove the handle and stem assembly before heating the 1 in bronze body; wrap the ball area with a wet rag so solder heat stays below the 600 psi pressure seal limit.
What part will need replacement first on air service at 29 in Hg vacuum?
The PTFE seats and stem packing wear first; keep a rebuild kit for the two-piece bronze body on hand for scheduled maintenance.
At what steam pressure does the 150 psi rating become the limiting factor during sustained use?
Continuous steam above 150 psi will exceed the steam rating before the 600 psi air rating is reached, so derate the valve for steam lines.
