Apollo 1-1/2" FNPT Carbon Steel Ball Valve
The Apollo 8950701 is a manual two-way ball valve built with a carbon steel body and stainless steel ball. It uses a straight, two-piece construction with standard port geometry and FNPT threads for inline installation. The non-locking handle provides direct on-off control for steam and other compatible media.
Suited for steam lines and general industrial piping
This valve serves operators who need a carbon steel body rated for 150 psi steam service and 1,500 psi operating pressure. It also supports vacuum service to 29 in Hg. Buyers requiring 3-A sanitary compliance, combustible gas ratings, a locking handle, or a full-port flow path should look at other valve types.
Handles steam at 150 psi and vacuum to 29 in Hg
The standard port design delivers reliable shut-off for steam systems within the 150 psi limit and general service up to 1,500 psi. Vacuum lines down to 29 in Hg are also within its range. Applications exceeding the steam rating, needing sanitary certification, or requiring combustible gas approval will exceed this valve's certified capabilities.

Questions about this item
What pipe thread size must my existing piping have to connect to the 1-1/2" FNPT ends on this Apollo 8950701 valve?
The valve uses 1-1/2 inch Female National Pipe Thread connections, so your piping needs matching 1-1/2 inch Male NPT threads for a proper seal.
Will the carbon steel body and stainless steel ball handle the 150 psi steam rating in a system that also runs 1,500 psi air?
Yes, the valve is rated for 150 psi steam and 1,500 psi maximum operating pressure, with a stainless steel ball suited for both media types.
How can I verify the 29 in Hg vacuum rating is holding after I install the valve inline?
Pull a vacuum on the system and watch a calibrated gauge; if it reaches and holds near 29 in Hg without decay, the valve is sealing correctly.
