Manual Two-Way Ball Valve

The Apollo 70LF-205-01 is a manual two-way ball valve constructed with a bronze body and a chrome-plated bronze ball. It features a standard port design and a straight body style with sweat connections for 1 inch nominal pipe size. A non-locking lever handle operates the valve. This component suits plumbing installations requiring basic on-off flow control for air or water lines.

Pressure and Vacuum Ratings

The valve handles a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi. It carries a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg for negative pressure applications. Combustible gas service is not rated for this model. The two-piece construction contains the internal components under these specified pressure limits during normal system operation.

Sweat Connection Installation

The sweat end connections require soldering directly onto copper piping using appropriate flux and solder. No threaded adapters or union fittings are integrated into the valve body. The straight body style aligns inline with the pipe run without offset. Installers must ensure the piping system accommodates the 1 inch nominal size and the two-piece valve body length. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How is the 1 in sweat connection installed on the Apollo 70LF-205-01, and what step do people get wrong?

Clean both copper surfaces, apply flux, insert the valve fully, then heat the joint evenly until solder flows; the common error is insufficient heat on the valve body, leaving a cold joint.

What maintenance or replacement will the Apollo 70LF-205-01 need later?

The chrome-plated bronze ball and PTFE seats may wear after many cycles; if leakage appears at the stem or ports, replace the valve — no internal repair kit is offered for this two-piece design.

What limit shows up first on the Apollo 70LF-205-01 under sustained use?

The 150 psi steam rating is reached well before the 600 psi water rating, so steam service is the limiting factor in high-temperature applications.
