Product Identity
The Apollo 75-104-41 is a 3/4" FNPT bronze ball valve designed for inline air compressor and vacuum pump installations. It suits technicians and facility managers who need a manual two-way shut-off for compressed air lines. The two-piece body construction and standard port configuration make it a direct fit for existing 3/4 inch NPT piping. It is not for systems requiring three-way flow diversion, automatic actuation, or hygienic 3-A sanitary compliance.
Installation Notes
The valve threads onto standard 3/4" FNPT connections using common pipe wrenches and thread sealant appropriate for bronze fittings. The locking lever handle allows secure open or closed positioning without specialised tools. Because the body is a two-piece bronze casting, over-tightening can stress the joint between pieces; apply torque evenly and avoid using the valve body as a lever during pipe alignment. The chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion from air media, but the valve is not rated for vacuum service or combustible gas lines.
Critical Specification
The maximum operating pressure is 600 psi for air media, with a separate steam rating of 150 psi. This pressure ceiling determines whether the valve matches your compressor output and system safety factors. Exceeding 600 psi risks body deformation or seal failure, so verify your line pressure before specifying this part. The California Proposition 65 notice indicates the presence of listed chemicals, which may affect material suitability in regulated environments.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the valve is operating correctly after installation?
Pressurise the system up to 600 psi and verify there are no leaks at the 3/4" FNPT connections; the lever handle should turn smoothly to open and close the chrome-plated brass ball.
What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the Apollo 75-104-41 bronze ball valve with locking lever handle; pipe sealant or thread tape for the FNPT connections and any required piping or fittings are not included.
Which pressure rating should I match to my application?
Choose this model when your system requires a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi for air or 150 psi for steam; it is not rated for combustible gas or vacuum service.
