3/8" Bronze Ball Valve

This Apollo 82LF10201 is a manual two-way ball valve with a bronze body and chrome-plated brass ball. It features a full-port design and a straight body style with FNPT threading. The non-locking lever handle provides direct flow control for steam and water applications. It is a new component intended for plumbing and industrial fluid systems.

Replaces worn inline valves

The three-piece construction allows inline maintenance without removing the valve body from the piping. A jump is justified when an existing valve leaks, seizes, or cannot handle the required pressure range. This unit supports up to 600 psi operating pressure and 150 psi for steam service, with a vacuum rating of 29 in Hg.

Suits steam and water lines

Installers needing a full-port bronze valve for 3/8-inch FNPT connections will find this model appropriate. It is not rated for combustible gas service and carries no 3-A sanitary compliance. Buyers requiring a locking handle, gas certification, or sanitary-grade finish should look at alternative valve types.

  • Full-port design ensures unrestricted flow
  • 600 psi pressure rating handles demanding applications
  • 150 psi steam rating suits heating systems

Questions about this item

What thread size and type does the 3/8 inch FNPT bronze ball valve require for piping connections?

The valve uses a 3/8 inch FNPT female thread on each end for direct inline connection to matching male pipe threads.

How is the three-piece valve body assembled during installation, and which step is commonly missed?

The three-piece body bolts together around the ball and seats; the step often missed is tightening the body bolts evenly in a cross pattern to prevent leaks.

Which internal parts will need replacement after extended steam or water service at 150 psi steam or 600 psi operating pressure?

The PTFE seats and stem packing are the wear items that typically require replacement after long exposure to high-pressure steam or water cycles.
