Apollo 8220501 Manual 2-Way Ball Valve

Installation Compatibility Checks
Verify the nominal valve size of one inch matches your piping requirements before ordering. Confirm the sweat connection method is compatible with your existing copper tubing installation. Ensure the system operating pressure does not exceed 600 psi and steam pressure remains within the 150 psi limit.
Build Integration Details
The three-piece valve construction allows for inline maintenance without removing the entire assembly from the pipeline. Rated for vacuum service up to 29 in Hg, it suits evacuation and hold applications. The bronze body and chrome-plated ball resist corrosion from steam and compatible fluids, freeing up maintenance intervals in hydronic or process loops.

Questions about this item
Does the Apollo 8220501 valve come with solder fittings or do I need to buy them separately?
The valve has sweat ends for soldering directly to copper pipe; no fittings are included, so you will need to supply your own solder, flux and copper tubing.
Should I choose the 600 psi or 150 psi rating for my steam system?
Use the 150 psi steam rating for steam service; the 600 psi figure applies only to non-steam operating pressure.
Will the 29 in Hg vacuum rating hold on a high-vacuum pump?
The valve is rated for vacuum service down to 29 in Hg, suitable for typical shop vacuum and evacuation tasks.
