Valve for steam and water systems

This Apollo bronze ball valve handles steam up to 150 psi and water up to 600 psi. The 316 stainless steel ball and full-port design suit commercial and industrial piping. It is built for two-way manual control in straight inline runs.

Pressure limits and vacuum rating

Operating pressure reaches 600 psi for water and 150 psi for steam. Vacuum service is rated to 29 in Hg. The three-piece bronze body allows inline maintenance without pipe removal. No locking handle is fitted.

Replaces worn two-way bronze valves

Use this valve when an existing 1-1/2 inch FNPT bronze ball valve leaks or seizes. The full-port 316 stainless ball restores unrestricted flow. It is not for combustible gas service or applications requiring 3-A sanitary compliance.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1-1/2" FNPT threaded ends, and what is the common mistake?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant to the male threads only, then tighten to the recommended torque; the step most people skip is cleaning both thread sets thoroughly before sealing, which prevents leaks at 600 psi.

What maintenance will the 316 stainless steel ball and bronze body need over time?

Inspect the PTFE seats and stem packing annually for wear; cycle the handle monthly to prevent seizing, and replace the seat kit if internal leakage appears at 150 psi steam or 600 psi water service.

Which pressure limit will be reached first during sustained steam use?

The 150 psi steam rating is the governing limit; the valve is rated to 600 psi for water, oil or gas, but steam service must not exceed 150 psi to avoid seat damage.
