Apollo 70LF10901 Bronze Ball Valve

This new Apollo 70LF10901 is a manual two-way ball valve built for steam and water lines. Its straight, two-piece bronze body accepts a 2-1/2 inch FNPT connection. The chrome-plated brass ball uses a standard-port design with a non-locking handle.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw

The valve operates without external power, so it draws no electricity and produces no fan noise. Steam service is rated to 150 psi while water and general duty reach 600 psi. Vacuum capability extends to 29 in Hg for negative-pressure applications.

2-1/2 Inch FNPT Connection Size

The single specification that decides fit is the 2-1/2 inch FNPT thread size. Installers needing a different nominal diameter or thread standard must select another valve. This unit also carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Apollo 70LF10901 valve and what is the common mistake with the FNPT threads?

Thread the 2-1/2" FNPT ends onto matching male pipe threads using pipe sealant rated for 600 psi water and 150 psi steam; the step often missed is tightening to the correct torque without over-stressing the bronze body.

What maintenance or replacement will the chrome-plated brass ball and non-locking handle need over time?

Inspect the ball and seats annually for wear from steam or water service; replace the valve if leakage appears at the 29 in Hg vacuum rating or if the handle becomes stiff.

Which pressure limit is reached first during sustained high-temperature steam use?

The 150 psi steam rating is the limiting factor well before the 600 psi water rating, so sustained steam service must stay at or below 150 psi.
