Manual 2-Way Ball Valve
This Apollo 70LF-208-01 is a bronze, two-piece ball valve with a 2-inch sweat connection. It provides manual on-off control for air and water lines in plumbing installations. The standard-port design uses a chrome-plated bronze ball and a non-locking lever handle. Builders and maintenance technicians select it for residential and light-commercial piping systems.
Pressure and Vacuum Limits
The valve is rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure with air or water. Steam service is limited to 150 psi. Combustible gas duty is not rated. Vacuum service is rated to 29 in Hg. The body carries no 3-A sanitary standard compliance and average surface roughness is not applicable. Installers must stay within these published limits.
Capacity and Headroom
The 2-inch nominal size suits standard copper tubing in supply and distribution branches. It handles typical domestic water pressure and flow with margin. Steam lines at 150 psi are within scope. High-pressure gas, sanitary process piping or vacuum deeper than 29 in Hg are outside the design envelope. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 2 in sweat version or a different size for my copper piping?
The 2 in sweat connection is made for 2 in copper tube; choose this size when your pipe OD matches, otherwise select the valve that matches your actual tube diameter.
What does the 600 psi operating pressure mean once the valve is installed in a water line?
It means the valve body and seals are rated to hold up to 600 psi of non-shock water pressure at ambient temperature without leaking or bursting.
How does the sweat connection standard limit what pipe I can join?
Sweat ends require copper tube of the same nominal size and a compatible solder alloy; they cannot be used directly with steel, PEX or CPVC without transition fittings.
